Acts of Desperation: Grief, Taxidermy Rats and The Pub

We’re back after our brief hiatus and we’re bringing the good books this week. Camilla contemplates how many cups of coffee in a day is too many, and waxes lyrical about both Megan Nolan’s debut Acts of Desperation and Kristen Arnett’s strange but brilliant exploration of a family grieving in Mostly Dead Things. Elle finally tells us when International Men’s Day is (November 19th) in her review of The Problem With Men and discusses the strange but wonderful Ayoade on Top, a book entirely about the movie ‘View from the Top’ starring Gwyneth Paltrow. Both Elle and Camilla are broken by spending their lives and money at the pub for the sake of the British economy. Camilla and Elle for Mayor!
