Back on the road and that means brief reviews only for the time being! I bought this as kind of a festkauf for the release of Tolkien's version of Beowulf, but the article on it was kind of weirdly psychologically essentialist (this is Tolkien's truest soul and that's why he could never publish it himself? Why?); the main thing I remember now is a long, fun article on the brittle upper-class abuse narratives of the writer Edward St. Aubyn, who I will read with interest, one of these times. ( )
