37. Fine and excellent on Goya but actually, apart from a few moments, I found it surprisingly anodyne and platitudinous….

35. I’ve been writing a lot since I moved to Munich but I’ve struggled to read. My mind has once again been BLOWN by teaching Ellis Bell’s perfect novel

So now I live in Munich - please give me your suggestions for good bars, cinemas, bookshops, arts spaces, cafes, etc etc. It’s a very big city to find your feet in! Even better if you live here and you want to meet up!

34. Scott was just too huge an omission in my reading which needed fixing. This is also brilliant, on its own terms as an intellectual and artistic achievement, and as a road not taken by the popular novel whose anti-humanism and excess has much to say to the contemporary experimental novel.

Can't help thinking about Kurt Tuchlosky's Weimar-era satirical poem, Rosen auf den Weg gestreut today, and most days in the UK just now - here in the singer Daniel Kahn's translation

33. A charged moment of time blasted out the continuum of history, a reverse ekphrasis of arts you wished existed, a democratic homage to our universal capacity and obligation to make art, a field guide to saying Yes even to suffering. 💯

31. It’s a while since I read Rancière and loved this. At first it seems a small footnote to Aisthesis on landscape gardening, but it’s a fascinating rehabilitation of the category of the picturesque as a form capable of realising the freedom and shared sensible world offered by revolution
