Shiny New Books 12 is out today (have there really been 12 issues?), always a cause for celebration, and I have written a review for it. Lauren Elkin’s Flâneuse: Women Walk the City in Paris, New York, Venice, Tokyo and London was just as good as I’d hoped (I’ve been awaiting its publication impatiently). If Jean Rhys, Virginia Woolf, Sophie Calle, revolution and loitering interest you, then you know where the nearest library or bookshop is...
Meanwhile, I’m settling down to read the rest of Shiny and bankrupt myself.
