What's got my attention this week #104
A bumper round up of links and recs for your watching, reading and listening pleasure
Below the paywall today: Skin hunger, the women of Britpop, narcissistic mothers, why women pay a passion tax, the biggest shock of parenting your parents, a deeply satisfying literary thriller, welcome to my favourite time of the TV-viewing year, the novel writing competition that you’ve been waiting for. And more.
