The Clandestine Farm
One March afternoon I climbed over the fence which divides my neighbour’s land from mine, and walked on his farm as though it were my own. I looked on it, not in a jealously possessive way, but simply as I … Continue reading
Gender, Truth and Reality: The Short Stories of Katherine Mansfield
Until relatively recently, women have been noticeable only by their absence from the tradition of Anglo-American high modernism. T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, Joseph Conrad, D.H. Lawrence and W.B. Yeats – these are the names which have dominated the English … Continue reading

The Riddle of the Sands
We had an old copy of The Riddle of the Sands in our house when I was a boy. It seemed to me that we’d had it forever, though the inscription in it told me that it was actually … Continue reading

Woolf at the Door 2: Mrs Dalloway’s Inner Flâneur

Ghost Milk: Calling Time on the Grand Project by Iain Sinclair – Book of the Month – June 2012
