Marginalia: On love and self erasure.

Hello dear readers, 

It has been a long while. I hope you are well, wherever you are. I have, like so many, found it increasingly difficult to focus for quite a long while now. Never have I read so little; the moment the book hits my eyes I struggle to follow the words and rarely, since the pandemic hit, have I been able to resist the urge to close the darn thing and turn on an episode of whatever is all the rage right now. Perhaps you can commiserate. What do you do when you find yourself in a r...

Marginalia: On the strange thing.

Hi all, 

I hope you and your loved ones are well, wherever you find yourselves on this magnificent and difficult blue orb of ours. Like many, I am finding it onerous to get through anything that requires deep attention. I won’t be one of those people who have taken this opportunity to read War and Peace/Moby Dick/any other long classic. Still, I am forcing myself to reach for the book rather than screen on most nights, and slowly getting through some pretty fantastic stuff.

I am finding, too, that...

Marginalia: On being consumed by stars.

Hello lovely people, 

Wherever you are, I hope so sincerely that you are well. I have gone back to my “I can’t articulate anything” stage. All I can do for now, it seems, is read the work of much smarter people and hope to find some sort of comfort in it. A crisis like this one seems to shatter every comfortable illusion we use to veil the terrifying capricious nature of reality. I keep thinking about these lines by James Baldwin; they so perfectly capture both the folly and necessity of these se...

What I’m Reading

In mid 2015, with the end of an over three year long book project, I decided that I would read more. Lots and lots more. While books have always been a fixture in my life, the intensity of their presence has ebbed and flowed throughout the years. I realised, during times when I wasn’t reading much, that I didn’t enjoy life without books. Reading makes me happier and more alert to the world around me.

To keep track of what I’m reading, I’ll update this list as I go along. I’ll be sharing more ...

Marginalia: On Tending One’s Own Garden.

Well, what an extraordinary time we are living through. Please believe me when I write that I hope and so sincerely that this finds you and your loved ones well, safe, and healthy. Life feels very hectic in our home, where weve been in total lockdown for over a month. Never have I found it more difficult to tend to my own garden whilst holding the reality that what lies outside of it is in total, tragic collapse. I know I am not alone in expressing how difficult it is to verbalise what is...

Marginalia: On Longing.

Hello lovely people,

Marginalia is, once again, back. There is an explanation for my recent – and long – silence: in May 2019, I began my studies to retrain as a High School English and History teacher. While I have for many years known that this is the path I want to travel, the decision to finally embark on it was difficult, riddled with anxiety at the unknown of it all: the discomfort of learning something new; the real possibility of not being very good at it; and the highly likely risk...

Marginalia: On Loneliness.

Hello lovely people,

Happy March. This one is coming a little later than planned, but, at least, it arrives! In true keeping with the dilemma I was whining about in the last Marginalia — how difficult it is to take your time to consume things in a deeper way  — I’ve read, watched and listened to much less this month, and instead spent loads of time writing notes and thinking about the ideas that I’ve recently come across. Some of these ideas – the good ones, at least – are below.

I hope you e...

Marginalia: On Choice.

Hi all,

I hope you’re faring well. Surely you are all already very well into your year of reading (and watching, and listening, and observing…). I sort of am, though not without its bumps. Recently, I have been obsessing over this deep issue of contemporary life: the paradox of choice. What to read? What to watch? What to listen to? In an effort to simplify, I began the year by Marie-Kondoing (is that a term?) my digital life: I unsubscribed from newsletters I never open; podcasts I stopped l...
