I wrote a little review of Rachel Ingalls’s “Mrs Caliban” for this month’s @Lit_Review. First published in the early 80s and reissued this year, it remains delightfully weird and satisfying. https://literaryreview.co.uk/the-housewife-the-frog

Delighted to take up the challenge of a whistle stop tour of that most, er, appropriate topic for a cleric- the history of bad language for @Lit_Review all without doing a swear. https://literaryreview.co.uk/fornicating-under-consent-of-king

‘The Secret Powers of a Swagger Stick’ - my review of Giles Milton’s (@GilesMilton1) masterful narrative ‘Checkmate in Berlin’ has just been published in Literary Review (@Lit_Review). Hope you enjoy it. Read the incredible story of Brit stick V Red Army! https://literaryreview.co.uk/the-secret-powers-of-a-swagger-stick
