Reading ‘The Waste Land’ 100 years on
"As the centenary of perhaps the two towering works of literary modernism, T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land and James Joyce’s Ulysses, 2022 appears a natural time to reflect on the present day significance of these texts. Such an impulse can only be furthered by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has caused many to use literary works as a means of processing, alleviating, or escaping from present reality."
Atmospheric autumn reads: ‘Cemetery Boys’
"The novel shows us a utopian vision in which our ghosts can be cathartically released, in which rebirth and renewal is possible."
