Every year at this time, I publish the annual collection of last year’s posts. This year, I’m using the title What’s Become of the Left? The 2025 posts because of the large number of posts about leftish books I’ve been looking at. It’s interesting to look at previous titles of these collections -
Ways of Seeing – the 2024 posts (236pp)Whistling in the Wind – the 2023 posts (305pp) Have I really become so long-winded?
This too will Pass – the 2022 posts - a title which perhaps fell into the trap of fatalism (191pp)
Voices in the Air – the 2021 posts - a title from the famous quote from Keynes when he talked of the unnoticed influence of books on our minds (224pp)
Peripheral Vision – the 2020 posts. This celebrates the blog’s notion of creativity (244pp)
To Whom it may Concern – the 2019 posts. Normally written in support of someone’s application (282pp)
The Search for the Holy Grail – the 2018 posts Something I’ve been guilty of (169pp)
Common Endeavour – the 2017 posts An important concept for me (183pp)
The Slaves’ Chorus – the 2016 posts (120pp) I remember listening to an emotional rendering of this chorus in a Brno theatre in 1990. I hadn’t realised that the full title of this song is actually the Hebrew Slaves’ Chorus
In Praise of Doubt – a blogger’s year (2015) An allusion to the Brecht poem of that title (247pp)
