From The Castle to the Hovel is a selection of Nicholas Lezard’s wildly popular, long-running column for the New Statesman, covering the years 2017–2021, when he was kicked out of London, relocated to Scotland, and then got kicked out of there, and finally settled in Brighton.

This will be more than a selection of columns: there will be additional material which will illuminate several of the questions raised by the pieces on their original appearance. There will be some gossip. Look on it as the Director’s Cut.

Subjects include:

HomelessnessHeartbreakMassive cash flow problemsBeaversLockdown sex in Durham, of all placesA deep-seated sense of absurdityGeneral grumpinessStaying in bed all dayAlcoholic consumption on a heroic scaleFreezing Scottish houses with faulty wood-burning stovesJackdawsTreesThe middle of fucking nowhere without a phone signal

And much, much more!
