Yes – it’s scary just how prophetic Wilde was being!

I agree – this novel doesn’t feel as dated as some of the other offerings from the 1800s

Brilliant article. I agree that there is a danger in compartmentalising novels – and, indeed, any form of art – into groups that invariably alienate the under-represented minority. Why should Achebe be taught specifically as a post-colonialist writer, for example, or Woolf as a feminist? I suppose it is more for convenience than anything, but (like you say) it does seem to compound the already problematic situation.

Sounds fantastic – I loved the first film, so will have to check this out ASAP.

Black Mirror is the kind of generation-defining TV that deserves to be watched by the largest possible audience. It’s edgy, compelling, disturbing and yet deeply human – really hope a third series sees the light of day.
