Yet more of Emma's narrative curios all tied together brilliantly.. did not expect Cory Booker. A great read as always (who wants to be a beige electable anyway). X

Thank you Liz. I'm loving your substack (it was essentially designed for my reading pleasure). x

I love this so much, including the Cory Booker date and being Googled, and letting your daughter take a day off to cry out her ennui, which I consider good parenting. ‘Unelectable’ is I guess a very specific version of Frances Ha’s ‘undateable’. Being electable sounds like a bit of a personality straitjacket.

What a great read and also - I used to love Gomez! High up on the chart of favourite albums I forgot existed when I stopped listening to CDs... (lailarad.substack.com/p/59) - I had no idea Tom went into politics! Makes me want to move to Brighton. Happy to find you here!
