Stoked for this. Loved Sterling Karat Gold so much.

Also love the library: my email: you need to stock this. Their email: okay, we will. My email: cheers nice one! Three weeks later their email: come and get it!

2/2

Brings to mind the powerful critique Isabel Waidner makes in the final paragraph of her essay-play, 'The Prince of Homburg':

'UK publishing professionals are always wondering why the working classes aren't engaging with canonical literature. Books come cheap off the Amazon, so--? What's your excuse? You too dumb to read this? Ill-educated, and lazy? You prefer sci-fi and Netflix, you unintelligent shits? But the working-classes are disengaging, not because they lack educational capital or intelligence, but because literature is stupid. It gets almost everything wrong.'
