Also, that deep breathing exercise at the end of the Doechii song makes me ascend. Have you seen the video?

The video is a whole other thing...It's pretty great. And you're right - the last thing that breathing exercise is going to do is relax you...

I loved this! Especially as I’m writing about Hollinghurst for my dissertation.

Hi Theo - this may be a bit belated, but the NY TImes did a book club on 'Our Evenings' recently, including a podcast. You can access it here through this 'gift' link if you're interested:
