In Saturday magazine tomorrow …
As Trump’s second term loomed, Colm Tóibín was writing a story about an Irish immigrant leaving the US. A year on, he reflects on his inspirations, and watching the changing landscape from his home in New York.

One from a few weeks ago. American Psycho the musical. A satire of 80s capitalism and still relevant in our contemporary world of toxic masculinity. We focussed on his business card, ‘bone’ with ‘Silian rail’ font. For Mergers and Acquisitions, or is that Murder and Executions.
