Issue Five of New Escapologist is out now! My journalistic contributions include an interview with Alain de Botton, an account of my time living in a Glaswegian attic, and a new editorial called ‘Behind the scenes of New Escapologist’.

Also in this issue are Dickon Edwards on bedsits and Quentin Crisp; Tom Mellors on Bohemian love; and Reggie C. King on Erik Satie. Loads more too. Probably our best (and certainly fullest) issue to date.
