One of the best and most interesting writers out there makes a very convincing case for introducing a paid subscription level to his newsletter (with a great Venn diagram)

There's a paid tier opening up on my Substack - introducing New Moon Letters and Midsummer Annuals in the post each year... It's all explained here johnhiggs.substack.com/p/john-higgs...

1971. Berlin. Germany's most controversial actor returns with a performance about Jesus Christ. As the crowd turn on him, it's very nearly his last. Meanwhile 50 years later a housebound writer becomes fixated with footage of Klaus Kinski at his most manic. October 2025. tinyurl.com/45jss3hs

Just bought Salena Godden’s wonderful book - I own it already but somehow it looks different and worth having two - the person behind the OXFAM counter beamed and said “what a wonderful title”

I've put @johnhiggs.bsky.social KLF book with my FF books as there's a bit where he asks readers to skip a chapter depending on their beliefs. I would say that puts it in the "choose your own adventure" genre. Alas I will be missing out on Solstice at Stonehenge again, hopefully next year, finally

Very excited about Glastonbury Festival next week - I'll be talking to Robin Ince about Doctor Who on the Science Futures Laboratory Stage at 3pm on Thursday - just search for my name in the Glastonbury app!
