The Saturday Read: All the world’s a page

Nov 16, 2024 | saturdayread.substack.com | Jason Cowley |Nicholas Harris |George Monaghan

Good morning. Welcome to the Saturday Read, the New Statesman’s guide to politics, culture, books, and ideas. This is Jason, together with Finn, Nicholas, Pippa and George. Reading my colleague Nick Harris’s fine profile of Samantha Harvey, whose novel Orbital this week won the 2024 Booker Prize, I began to think about my own experiences as a Booker judge in an era when the contemporary literary novel seemed central to the culture rather than merely peripheral to it, as it is today.

Jun 22, 2023 | engelsbergideas.com | Nicholas Harris

This isn’t Europe Ben Judah's uneven history of Europe has moments of thrills and revelation. But focusing on the stories of people living and working on the Continent - and beyond - leaves the narrative prone to fragmentation.

Millennial Intellectual: An Interview with James Marriott

Jan 26, 2023 | review31.co.uk | Nicholas Harris

Do you think of yourself as a critic or a reviewer? I think I’m a reviewer, critic is probably too dignified. I’d love to be a critic, to be someone like James Wood, but I’m probably a reviewer.
