Displacement activity

In the last week I have been trying to start up a potentially important web site; get two, perhaps three, long radio programmes going; write two columns; review Rowan Williams’ book on Dostoevski; organise a page of collected reviews for the Swedish book; start the next book, which also involves getting a big Granta piece going that must be finished before the middle of October … so I have not been blogging all the witty little aperçus you may be expecting. Instead, I bought a bicycle. That won’t be delivered until Monday. So now I am going to bed with Rowan Williams.
