Prize: Victorian Poetry Early Career Essay Prize (Deadline: 8/3/2026) navsa.org/News/13633275

#100 in The Guardian's recent 100-novels list had been lying in wait on my bookshelf for quite a while, so I picked it up yesterday. 20 pages in, it feels very much like a more quickly readable The Story of an African Farm, in a good way.

A lot happened in Europe this month, including the electoral defeat of Viktor Orbán and, just hours ago, Trump's threat to withdraw U.S. troops. In my substack piece this month, I write about the EU's foreign policy veto problems. Enjoy! 1000wordsonterror.substack.com/p/after-orba...
