James Holden: Cultural Writer
Proustian
For a long time, I read the works of Marcel Proust.
Now I write and host the literary podcast, Proustian Paths.
Lisztian
Liszt claimed to play the piano 'tolerably well'. I can't claim that.
I've spent seven years writing a book on Liszt. How's that for tempo rubato?
Nerd
On my turn I move meeples, mash buttons, manage inventory and roll dice.
I play boardgames, videogames and DnD. I speak nerd and think geek.
Independent wrtiter and academic. Lisztian, Proustian, Nerd.
