Book Review: Childhood, Youth, Dependency (The Copenhagen Trilogy)
This collection is the life’s work of a true twentieth-century great. I hope this book leaves on you the indelible mark it left on me.

Book Review: Cast Away
This is a mewling and meandering story of self-actualisation from the perspective of someone desperate to avoid reckoning with themself.
