Reading and Watching the World: Books, Film and Art

There's a whole world out there! I'm an experienced, UK-based editor and aesthetic dilettante doing an off-duty project to review at least two books, a film and an artist from every country in the world, plus music and TV where possible. Reviews are SPOILER FREE. New posts every week. See Reviews by country for my recommendations and to track my progress.
