Such a privilege to record the #JacobsRoom podcast surrounded by #MaynardKeynes books @Kings_College, looking out at the chapel & lawn which feature in the novel & which #VirginiaWoolf was so famously denied access to. Great to see #VanessaBell now on display in the dining hall
Grateful to @bbcradio3 for allowing me to talk about my current project on vertigo and the many meanings of balance. Available to listen here, would love to hear your thoughts:

@OllyEmanuel So sorry to hear this. Don't have a poem, but here's #VirginiaWoolf: “Illness is a part of every human being's experience. It enhances our perceptions and reduces self-consciousness. It is the great confessional; things are said, truths are blurted out which health conceals.”
What an amazing audience @oxfordlitfest - still pondering all those great questions! Thank you Clare Morgan & everyone @blackwelloxford & @ExeterCollegeOx for the warm welcome and brilliant behind-the-scenes organisation. @oxfordlitfest is the best!
"In a world of uncertainties, how do human beings navigate the increasingly complex interrelations of love, desire, home, community?"

Superb on the new “puritanism” and “social censure” which is enforcing orthodoxy, preventing “good faith” discussions, and hobbling both young people and writers in an “exquisite kind of self-censorship”.
