This is a great piece of criticism that everyone should read.

We are excited to announce The London Magazine’s Best Books of 2024, as chosen by twenty-one of our contributors. Selections include Our Evening by Alan Hollinghurst, Adam by Gboyega Odubanjo and A Question of Palestine by Edward Said. Read the full list here: thelondonmagazine.org/the-best-boo...

As a thank you and congratulations to reaching the end of all that, here are two lovely poems from our archive. The imaginatively titled ‘Poem’ by John Betjeman, and ‘Reflections’ by Louis MacNeice. All in the archive section on the website: thelondonmagazine.org/category/arc...

[CALL FOR PITCHES] The London Mag is looking for more essays that explore literature and its intersections with wider culture. Don’t be afraid to match high culture w/low, to be funny, iconoclastic, and have an authorial voice. Above all, please do not write in the tone of a PhD thesis lol.

Unilaterally decided that these kind of extended threads are how we're going to approach Bluesky, get with it
