For the FT Weekend Magazine's special issue on 'the body', I wrote a slightly awestruck essay about how footballers master space, by way of some reflections on Zidane, the elegant bruiser, and the enthralling-boring 2006 doc about him ft.com/content/1204ff…
for the The New Statesman I wrote something – a paean, inevitably – about Joni Mitchell, the absolute GOAT (an acronym Mitchell has used), revisiting her exquisite 1974 record Court and Spark (a "perfect album" in Brian Eno's view), released 50 years ago newstatesman.com/culture/music/…
"The sound of someone thinking and feeling aloud, Mitchell’s profoundly moving songs – across her body of work – show you that you are sadder than you realised but also at times happier than you might like to think." Marvellous appreciation of Court & Spark, from Lola Seaton
Fab essay by Lola Seaton on the 50th anniversary of Joni Mitchell’s Court and Spark in the The New Statesman. ‘It’s music that lines your heart’. newstatesman.com/culture/music/…
For London Review of Books I wrote about the novels of AK Blakemore lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v46/…
For The New Statesman I reviewed Lauren Oyler’s new essay collection No Judgement, and reflected on the fun, as well as, sometimes, the frustration, of self-awareness in writing (by which I mean the performance of self-awareness) newstatesman.com/culture/books/…
For the latest New Left Review I wrote about Anne Carson and ten things you can do to avoid boredom (jk...sort of) newleftreview.org/issues/ii146/a…
For New Left Review, I wrote about Yoko Tawada’s “Paul Celan and the Trans-Tibetan Angel.” newleftreview.org/sidecar/posts/…
