Terry Ball runs elaborate mollusc-based tax avoidance schemes that are costing London councils millions of pounds. Yet when London Centric tracks him down, an even stranger story emerges.

Hard agree. Reading Praiseworthy by Alexis Wright atm and quite frequent the long sentences mean it is impossible to read on public transport because of all the distractions. I'm having fun.
probably less "unhinged" and more "will lose me some friends" but I think the contemporary lit fic trend of very short pared down sentences is meant to seem clever and pretentious when it just makes people with no attention span/will to properly pay attention feel like they're reading Real Books

My tip to anyone trying to promote something on social media: just post whatever inane thoughts you have about politics, culture, current affairs, how ill-advised HBO's forthcoming Harry Potter series is, and then intermittently go 'please buy my newsletter'. It shouldn't work, but it does.
