Or, two doors into Harry’s house I recently commemorated the end of Harry Styles’ Love On Tour with a review of his last music video from the Harry’s House record, for the song “Daylight.” It’s a follow-up of sorts to my review of “As It Was” last year, which had been the first video.

Lit Review(ish): WHO IS MAUD DIXON?
In which I do a rough courtroom sketch This won’t be a full review, as I’ve written for other, similar novels like Bunny and The Girls; I’m saving that for an Actual Publication I’ve spent some months trying to battering-ram my way into.
