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.

Book Review: The Thornbacks
This novel glides on Wilson’s playful prose, perfectly chosen details, and quirky characters. I thoroughly enjoyed the ride.
