This is an “article” I wrote a few years ago that made rounds on Tumblr after I wrote it on a now defunct Tumblr I had. Beyond simply wanting to keep it from disappearing from the web, I actually wanted to read it again after running into a more recent and very fly theory regarding Darkstar’s (Gerold Dayne) possible father over at Elio’s board dedicated to George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire. For those who only experience what you call Game of Thrones via HBO, this covers a thus far minor character you probably won’t meet until season 5 who debuted in book 4, A Feast for Crows. I cleaned it up a bit just to remove references to other material that was on my old blog that wouldn’t make sense now. I’d add that since the time that I wrote this it...

The Good Wife is now a de facto widow. It's hard to imagine a lonelier, sadder lot than hers.
That's what we experience and learn on Sunday's episode (9 p.m. Et/Pt) of the CBS legal drama, an established classic that a week ago, after five seasons, suddenly became the sort of show that sends shock waves up and down the Twitter ladder. Lawyer Will Gardner (Josh Charles) was killed in a courtroom shoot-out in one of the most jolting twists ever – a jaw-dropper in an age when shocking twists are becoming routine as meals.

The award-winning biographer on the best thing she's read this year, the superior pleasures of radio, and a treat to come at the National
Claire Tomalin began her career as a journalist, working as literary editor of the New Statesman and the Sunday Times before making her name as a biographer. Her first book, The Life and Death of Mary Wollstonecraft, won the Whitbread first book award in 1974, while The Invisible Woman: The Story of Nelly Ternan and Charles Dickens, Samuel Pepys: The Unequalled Self, and Thomas Hardy: The Time-Torn Man are among her other award-winning biographies. Tomalin's 1991 play, The Winter Wife, was based on her biography of Katherine Mansfield and performed at the Lyric Hammersmith. She also edited and wrote an introduction for Mary Shelley's children's book, Maurice, published in 1998. The Invisible Woman, directed by and starring Ralph Fiennes and based on Tomalin's book, is in cinemas now.

If only there was an audience for the common man's love letter
You would, though, wouldn't you? If you had a suitcase of letters, love letters, perfumed with rose water and the inky fingerprints of a man so important that a steel effigy of him has been erected beside Rob Brydon's on a pedestrian path in Port Talbot, then you'd want to show them off.
Richard Burton's letters to Elizabeth Taylor, being published in Vanity Fair magazine this month, not only remind us that once Taylor was a mesmerising, violet-eyed beauty, rather than this lipsticky old lady, tweeting past her time, but reveal that he, affectionately, called her 'Twit Twaddle'.
Admittedly there's something slightly embarrassing about reading other people's love letters – Byron's note to his lover, for example: "My destiny rests with you, and you are a woman, eighteen years of age, and two out of a convent,...
