Recently,

Obsessed with Susumu Yokota’s Song of the Sleeping Forest, which I heard on this great radio show on Radio Vilnius. That’s me in the comments asking what the song is.

I’m sure I should have read it a long time ago but I just read Ursula K Le Guin’s 1986 essay The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction, which hit me sideways and is the first thing in years which has got me interested in narrative work!

I saw Poor Things, which is excellent, I especially loved Mark Ruffalo’s impression of Stewie from Family Guy, and Willem Defoe touring the entire British Isles with every sentence he speaks.
