I'm not sure Jacqui โ€“ I don't think Rizzoli usually does it but I'll check! Thank you for your interest in watching.

Quite literally just saw The Palace at 4 am a couple of hours ago and was so struck by it! Looking forward to reading!

A thoughtful, surprise piece on labor, fascism & horror in Verdigris and Clean ๐Ÿ’€

I know I talk a lot about wordplay, but Verdigris also "draws direct conclusions between oppressive political systems and the act of disappearing memories, histories, and people," as Kaitlin Bui writes!
