@frosthelmvale That's interesting. Now you mention a younger audience I can see it appealing to teenagers facing more adult feelings and situations for the first time and needing a gentle treatment. I like to think I'm not missing nuance, as a keen #BarbaraPym reader. You'd be all at sea if you took her novels at face value!

Only Marina Hyde could get away with quoting #BarbaraPym in an article about Labour's domestic knife fight and Andy Burnham's chances of survival therein. This sort of writing is the reason why no other newspaper will do. John Crace is also good, and I enjoy spotting his Lou Reed references.

I usually think autoplay is a damned nuisance but today it brought me this little gem that I would otherwise almost certainly not have seen.

Der leicht zerfledderte Zustand des linken Taschenbuchs deutet darauf hin, wie oft ich "Excellent Women" über die Jahre gelesen habe. Einfach köstlich, ihre sanfte Ironie.
Es ist wohl der mir liebste Roman von Barbara Pym, eine meiner Lieblingsautorinnen.❤️
