This is probably the most political page in this book – the reviews are mostly of modern literature rather than biography, history or politics. Squeezing an entire book down to nine tiny boxes and a handful of words is an amazing visual haiku trick and Kevin Thomas does a beautiful job of it. Perfect for folk who love modern literature; mesmerising even if you don’t know the books involved.
