Can't think why I have never read a Tessa Hadley before . Loved the philosophical comments on what could have been a disastrous sexual encounter . C'est la vie and then a shared currant bun The podcast was brilliant

Two of my favourite writers, Tessa Hadley and Lucia Berlin. I kept A Manual for Cleaning Woman near my side for two years. It's a genius collection, and one I will never tire of. I am reading Bad Dreams by Tessa Hadley right now - also excellent.

Concupiscence and cupidity a deadly couplet with a common source—the shadow side of desire.

Never heard of Tessa Hadley until 15 minutes ago. Read your piece on her new book The Party and now I cannot wait for it to arrive. You are a powerful propagandist Lady Lappin! When I win the darts champs you gonna be my manager?
