It really is. I found parts of it so enragingly distressing (as someone whose own life & that of my child were saved by emergency medical intervention), but it is an excellent work of journalism by Sirin Kale & Lucy Osborne.

It’s also the 83rd anniversary of this diary entry from James Lees-Milne about a feeling many of us recognise. (And I think we can all agree it’s better the other way round – when you get fuck all done, but don’t care)

I'm not sure whether DIAS books are ever available on Amazon. You would need to buy them directly from DIAS, but they can be shipped to the US:

Yes, I haven't had a chance to read it closely yet (it was only launched last night!) but Kelly definitely has some different readings from Meyer!
