I also want to recommend, with all my heart, @whatsamadder's "I Never Said I Loved You" - inhaled it over the weekend: one of the most painfully true, honest, dark and barkingly-funny books on depression, sex, self-loathing & being a man. Interstellar writing. Quite breathtaking.

First up: @whatsamadder's ‘I Never Said I Loved You’ is the book that makes other authors want to give up. A masterclass in imagery 'I tried to get into the [goth] music, a lot of which sounded like food poisoning being distributed by tornado'.

It's wonderfully unsettling to be pointed to someone who looks unfathomably like you. Like meeting yourself at a party.

Rhik could read out his little poem sitting on the loo and dressed as Eva Braun and I would still love him but getting through this whole piece without a Rick/Rhik gag is an oversight @whatsamadder theguardian.com/lifeandstyle…

I HAD NOT EVEN CONSIDERED THIS ANGLE

I have to say I think your mum has given you a massive advantage in terms of being able to stomach this stuff

Loneliness can feel trivial, when swamped by global events. But who we are in our heads is our entire world. Here's little me, talking about ways to cope.
True honour to speak to @whatsamadder as I adored 'I Never Said I Loved You'. In this episode he speaks so beautifully about complete loneliness, how we all live alone inside our skulls and when loneliness comes it's a chance to slow down: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…
