Leo Robson I just ... I don't know how to respond to this tweet

In what some are calling the literary journalism cross over event of the year I will be in conversation with the critic and novelist Leo Robson on Tuesday 8th July to discuss literature, criticism, the death of the English degree and his new novel eventbrite.com/e/author-leo-r…

I'll be going head to head (or tag-teaming?) with James Marriott on subjects including reading, writing, and much, much more in a little under 3 weeks as part of Special Rider Talks. . . eventbrite.co.uk/e/author-leo-r…

Will be returning to these topics - and perhaps some more enlightening ones - in conversation with Leo on the 8th July. Tickets here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/author-leo-r…

By agreeing to do a public event three and a half plus years later? eventbrite.co.uk/e/author-leo-r…

For and to a degree with New Left Review I chatted to the writer Geoff Dyer about his theoretical and Marxist interests and his political and intellectual education newleftreview.org/sidecar/posts/…

heavenly match of interviewer/ee — Leo Robson and Geoff Dyer — hilarious, educational, even therapeutic? newleftreview.org/sidecar/posts/…

This encounter between two writers I greatly admire is an unalloyed joy

Thoughts of a somewhat extended nature from the writer Geoff Dyer, who brought us croissants, about his relationship to New Left Review — where this interview appears, under the storied Sidecar banner — and Verso Books and other theoretical and political traditions

This is a terrific conversation. We had Geoff speak many times in our Festival of Ideas. His new book is excellent. And I see Leo Robson has a novel out which I look forward to reading.

Some thoughts here on Geoff Dyer and theory in the 1980s on my Substack by way of promotion for the lengthy New Left Review interview, just published on Sidecar (this link contains a link to that but it's also below) leorobson.substack.com/publish/posts/… newleftreview.org/sidecar/posts/…

Key point for me in this terrific (as per) piece from James Marriott:

I shall be chatting to The Times and The Sunday Times columnist and critic James Marriott about reading, writing and much, much more at Specialriderbooks as part of their Talks series in Shepherd's Bush Market, just by the Hammersmith and City Line station W12, and so on . . . eventbrite.co.uk/e/author-leo-r…

🚨 NEW STATESMAN COVER🚨

Now I have a cover to share, I can gleefully announce that AFTER YOU WERE, I AM will be published in the US by McSweeney's on September 16. (I will be doing a three-week US tour shortly afterwards. Dates and venues coming soon ...)

This week I fulfilled a long-time ambition to write the The New Statesman TV column, filling in for the great Rachel Cooke. This week: Adam Curtis

Very depressed to learn that The TLS is going fortnightly as from 6 September. Little enough space for serious book reviewing as it is.

Could NYC once again become an ‘island of social democracy’ in the US? My piece sets Zohran’s win in historical perspective going back to Henry George’s near-victory in 1886, and the long battle for Home Rule in New York newleftreview.org/sidecar/posts/…
