The Dutch historian Rutger Bregman is best known as a gadfly to the global elite. He went viral online in 2019 when, speaking on stage at Davos, he criticised attendees of the World Economic Forum for avoiding tax and taking private jets to Switzerland to listen to Sir David Attenborough talk about climate change. When Tucker Carlson then invited him on Fox News, Bregman pointed out that his host was "a millionaire funded by billionaires". Carlson insulted him and pulled the segment.

Never judge a book by its dedication. I feared the worst when I opened The Edges and saw it was “for Twinkles”; by the time I’d finished the first page, however, any qualms were allayed. The Edges is the debut work of fiction of the Flemish author Angelo Tijssens, translated from the Dutch by Michele Hutchison. It sees an unnamed narrator return to his hometown to settle his mother’s affairs after her death.

Lynne Tillman’s American Genius, a Comedy follows a woman over the course of a day during her stay in an artist’s retreat. The woman doesn’t use the term “artist’s retreat”, but she does call the people who are there with her “residents” or “fellows”. Each of them arrives and leaves at personally determined intervals; each issues elaborate dietary instructions to the beleaguered kitchen staff; and each, it transpires over time, practises a different arcane art.
