Seriously though this is a 60 year old man who has a ‘trans mum’. It opened by Wark telling us that he gave his copy of LOTE to his ‘trans mum’ to read, who then passed it onto their wife (who probably threw it in the bin). Wark kept on throwing his hands around in a typical ‘feminine’ way throughout the conversation and probably thought he was casting spells. Wark recently ‘transitioned’ in his fifties (see this reference from 2017). Wark has published several books about the internet but in terms of gender identity issues is most famous for his memoir Reverse Cowgirl, apparently about his sexual exploits, which has received the praise of Grace Lavery and Paul B. He appears to be mid-20s and is the beneficiary of a programme to help black British writers. His voice was incredibly plummy so I suspect his experience of rubbing shoulders with anyone working class is minimal (probably just the staff). Von Reinhold’s pronouns are they/them and appeared on camera wearing a long grey wig. Don’t worry, it’s probably much worse than it sounds. A secret society called LOTE is discovered. JamesĪccording to the Guardian review of the book, the main protagonist in the novel is ‘Mathilda – who is black, working-class and gay – and while on a work placement at a gallery, comes across an old photograph of a forgotten black Scottish modernist poet called Hermia Drumm, and becomes fixated’. From page 2 – prose to rival that of E.L.
