This is the only type of content that I’m liable to say “FIRST!!” on. Zadie’s novel *NW* and Daniel’s novel *F.* are two of my top 5 novels of the 2010s. I’m so excited to watch this!

Pick things up. Reduce some and obliterate others. Rituals, people or the things that come out of them--spare none. Only cynicism would illuminate oneself. Wander and wonder was for the writers of an earlier age. It has almost become farcical to be interested in literary matters. You can as well hear a political commentator for the writers of fiction are as restless as corporate workers. The times are dogged by a cartelised industry and writing schools. Blame the readers: who are lazy.
