I’ve been on the road this week and it’s incredibly hot here. This weather is not at all conducive for writing.
Let me take this time out to thank everyone that has signed up/subscribed to my Substack. It has become much more successful than I thought it would be and it keeps growing. In order to give you more value, I’d like to ask you your views on what else you would like to see here besides the weekly review and interviews. I am trying to figure out how best to do book reviews after stalling with the second one (which I will return to).
So without any further ado: what else would you like to see me produce here?

Art review, such as reviewing your fav paintings, like Mondrian.
Maybe a bi-weekly thing with outsiders (non-Americans/Brits) views on the US. I find outside perspective often more illuminating than the lock step Anglo press views of the US. For example, I thought this article from Kenya about the US election to be a more interesting/less reflexive take than 99% of the American coverage I read.
