Strange how potent cheap music is - Noel Coward, Private Lives
I spend a lot of my time on Twitter banging on about old books and films that I love, and it struck me that, as I’m doing this for fun anyway, I might as well do it at more length. So I’m starting an occasional newsletter in which I sing the praises of the 20th (and 19th, and 18th now I come to think of it) century pop culture that made me laugh, cry, think, FEEL things. If you would like lots of recommendations of books and films about everything from 1930s showgirls to fourth-wall-breaking detectives, sign up now so you don’t miss the first issue.
In the mean time, tell your friends!
