I'm very much looking forward to the interviews with both Dyson and Ricky. When you spoke about Ricky's support and how he remembers details of your stories I almost got a little emotional because those are the types of people who can really have an impact on your life and propel you forward. We all deserve someone like that, so I'm really glad you've had him :) and will definitely check out his short stories in the meantime! I hope everything works out with the research project - that sounds so interesting! If you ever get time to share bits about what you learn or how it's going, I'd be keen to hear about it. I've got my first Baldwin (Another Country) waiting on my shelf for this year, so I'm looking forward to reading that. Enjoy New York! And a belated happy new year! I hope it's a wonderful one for you. Thank you, as always, for these videos and for this channel. It's definitely kept me motivated when it comes to reading and writing, so I appreciate that. And I think it's just kept me thinking, as well. I am much more motivated to analyse a piece of work when someone else is also sharing their thoughts, so it's brought back the joy for me of digging deeper into literature, and then having a place to spill all of my (unqualified) thoughts.

Fun times ahead!
I just finished Giovanni’s Room which is excellent. I want to get more into Baldwin’s other stuff.
good luck with everything!
Good luck brother ❤
N blessed to be a special guest
New York! I assume you're planning a budget-busting visit to the Strand?
