Today! An end of an era. We're not crying, you are!
11am on @NTSlive , tune in for our last ever episode of Literary Friction. As usual, it’s our Year in Review show, where we look back at our favourite reads from 2023 & make some resolutions for the year ahead. BUT, seeing as this show is also the end of an era...
False alarm! Due to a scheduling mix-up at @NTSlive our last show will play out at 10am tomorrow, and the extended edit will be out on the podcast as well. Thanks for your gorgeous messages everyone. We 💜 you.

What does it mean, to pursue a life of your own? And what is art & literature's role in figuring out what that might look like? Our show, A Life of One’s Own, with author and filmmaker Xiaolu Guo, gets into all of this and more, ready now wherever you listen 💜
As usual, you can find a list of all the books mentioned in this episode over at our @bookshop_org_UK page: uk.bookshop.org/lists/decemb…
11am on @NTSlive today, A Life Of One’s Own with Xiaolu Guo. Her latest book Radical explores what it really means for a woman to pursue her own freedom, so we’ll be thinking about how to live autonomously, both as an artist & as a literary character, plus all the usual recs.
Thank you Matt! 💜💜💜
I'll miss @LitFriction - bright, perceptive, challenging and charming, it keeps IN those things that make actual convos fun: "How are you (really) doing?"; funny talk of the weather and meals cooked... I could listen to them non-stop - the books sometimes get in the way, tbh! 😆
Minisode 45 is out - in which we return to the theme of friendship (ours & in general). We also make a pretty big announcement: after 10 wonderful years of LF, our Year in Review show this December will be our last. (1/2)
