So 2020 is over, but thanks to some cunning and stealthy arrangements our cultural anarchists hid away a couple of episodes. This time around we have tales of a secret but obvious message left by a librarian, an art dealer’s racist selfies, a scholar who lied about their race, a […]

Meat Safes And The Dictionary Sausage – Literary Loitering 126
