The Boys

1 week ago | the-fence.com | Leo Robson

An extract from Leo Robson’s forthcoming novel. Johnny, 30 and bored, recalls the appearance of his half-brother and his half-brother’s girlfriend. In the mornings Lawrence and Emily would cross the hall and tickle me awake, then he would disappear to make breakfast – a full English, adapted to accommodate the household rule about pork products. ‘Has to be full English,’ he would say, ‘what else?’ It seemed not to be a rhetorical question.

Leo Robson, Mister Lonely — Sidecar

Feb 7, 2025 | newleftreview.org | Leo Robson

Dylan hasn’t always been a legend. Or at least not consistently. Joan Baez, in her poison-pen love-letter ‘Diamonds and Rust’, sang that he burst on the scene ‘already’ one. Born Robert Zimmerman in Minnesota, he travelled east in January 1961 to meet his ailing hero Woody Guthrie.

Joshua Cohen: “La ficción que me atrae es a menudo el resultado de tomar partido por ambos lados”

Nov 12, 2024 | ojoentinta.com | Leo Robson

La sexta novela de Joshua Cohen, "Los Netanyahus" (Seix Barral, 2024), ganadora del Premio Pulitzer el 2022, está inspirada por una anécdota de Harold Bloom y es una fantasía satírica en torno a la familia Netanyahu, que introduce preguntas serias. En una entrevista con el crítico Leo Robson, Cohen se refiere a estas y otras cuestiones. Hace unos meses, me encontré con el novelista y ensayista estadounidense Joshua Cohen. Él estaba saliendo de un período muy ajetreado.
