The Sunday Times books editor recently did a podcast, and I’m the person talking in it. It can be found here.

Thought I’d post a link to the first online Walrus piece regarding the FIFA World Cup Final South Africa - which is the precise wording FIFA require from visiting journalists, otherwise they murder everyone you know. The tournament is bedeviled by so many forces against it that it’s encouraging to know that, one way or another, it’s going ahead. And it’s gonna be quite the party. The piece is up here, and there’ll be more like it in the coming weeks.
