On Stage
The Bookshop
Everything significant happens at the edges: at the fringes of consciousness, in the margins of the mind; at the far borders of life; amongst the dispossessed and forgotten; in hospices, garrets and the edgy human heart. Look wherever you like: evolution, religion, literature, visual arts, the sciences. The centre’s at best an irrelevance. It hates this sort of talk, and for millennia has waged war on the edges. It’s time to take up arms.
