It's time to look at the all-time most loved Virgin New Adventure novel, Paul Cornell's Human Nature. Along the way, Lucy McCaul and I discuss covid, knitting, crime novels, book clubs, Looms, masculinity, Bruce Willis, "The Latin Invasion", Wolsey, the "Tenth Doctor", Nathan Bottomley (swoon), Bernie Winters and Schnorbitz, tender romance, the N-word, dormitory hangings, magic, John Levene and Benton & Hawthorne Investigate.

And for my best work, subscribe to The Flaneur, a new literary and cultural magazine type thing.
