Hello Australia!

You'll never look at street the same way again!
Read my book review of Vagabonds: Life on the Streets of Nineteenth-Century London by Oskar Jensen at Washington Independent Review of Books (then get yourself a copy...it's tremendous!) washingtonindependentreviewofbooks.com/bookreview/vag…

What everyone's going to call the definitive Measure for Measure is out now! For converting cups to millilitres it's pretty useless, but for presenting and contextualising one of THE great plays, it's a doozy...

Today, BookPegged reviews Oskar Jensen's 'delightful,' memorable VAGABONDS: LIFE ON THE STREETS OF NINETEENTH-CENTURY LONDON (The Experiment): washingtonindependentreviewofbooks.com/bookreview/vag…
