Long before we ever set foot in London, we had already wandered its streets through books. From Shakespeare’s playhouses & Dickens’s foggy alleys to Woolf’s bustling streets, literature has given us many versions of this city. This week, @mookse.bsky.social & I stroll through our literary Londons.

Issue 23 of my newsletter, This, Not That, is in the mail! It's a commonplace book issue on the topic of dreams, with quotes from Byron, Borges, Anne Carson, Jenny Diski, Herodotus, Rebecca West, Helen Macdonald, Johne Clare, Peter De Vries, and many more. (Oh, and Ralph Wiggum. Of course.)

We're back! It's been busy, with me off exploring and @mookse.bsky.social moving. In this episode, we catch up on where we've been, what we've been reading, and the bookish things that have been occupying us. We also look ahead to a leisurely fall, plenty of good books and more time to read them.
