The Occasional 7
The latest edition of The Occasional, the close-cousin of The Fortnightly for paid subscribers, is out today, bridging the holiday gap between Fortnightlies 185 and 186 (coming once next term starts - May 3rd).
This time: Andrew O’Hagan’s big state of the nation novel Caledonian Road, ‘Love Letter’ by George Saunders, The Little Virtues by Natalia Ginzburg, the new Othello production featuring Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal (I’m teaching the play again this autumn), Sarah Churchwell on The Great Gatsby and our own ‘careless people’ right now, typewriters, David Hayman on Willy Loman, Pádraig Ó Tuama on ‘Spring’ by Hopkins, and more.
