Fun thing: Go to a large bookshop. Look in the 2nd hand section at all the different topics and styles and forms and small rants and grand visions and folio and paperbacks. Plays and essays and all kinds of esoterica with pictures.

Now come down to the contemporary section. Teen Fiction, Cooking and Aspirational Famous People. Thud.

It’s OK really, things change. But I feel a bit sorry for the young who missed out.
