Brilliant writing, deeply ideologically confused. Are you racist? Are you not racist? Are you just anti-imperialist with a luddite-esque attitude toward conquerors?
Murakami is one weird bird
All the space I was never given to occupy at 12. Possibly it might be a disconcerting choice of comfort
A white man prattles about women and native Americans, albeit 'nicely'.

The two stars are for Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott because damn the film was so much better
