Fishwick Papers: The "Surprise!" Edition

Oh hi there! It's a Tuesday! What's this doing in your inbox? Huh?I try to keep each edition of the Fishwick Papers to about 15 links. Each week while I'm collecting things, I always always end up with a bunch of extra links - either they don't fit in with themes, or they're not as recent as other works. But I save them for later. Recently my 'for later' list has gotten pretty unwieldy, so I thought it might be nice to send out a midweek edition as well! There'll still be another one on Friday. Promise.

There we go! How does that feel? Let me know if two in one week is too much, or if you'd be okay with each paper being a little longer so I don't need to leave things out, or if I should carry on with how things are. Thanks again for signing up and receiving these, that's really great of you.Much love,Jim xoxo
