Oh hi. I'm Harry. I'm a writer and cultural critic from London. I like books, art, fashion, philosophy, psychology, tea, and cats, among other things.

I tend to write here about classic literature and books that belong to what I suppose can be called the Western canon. My journalism has appeared in The Times, The Guardian, The Spectator, The New Statesman, The TLS, and other titles. I have also written short stories for titles like East of the Web and a collection, Broken Bonds, which is under consideration by publishers. So is a novel, Without Wax.

I have ghostwritten and edited books on various subjects, from law and finance to wellbeing. Through Zola, my literary consultancy, I advised the author of Breathe In, Breathe Out, a Sunday Times best-seller. I am also the co-founder and creative director of Sonder, a communications agency with offices in London and Paris.

For writing-related inquiries, contact my very lovely agent, Morwenna Loughman. For anything else, email me directly. You can also connect with me on Instagram, LinkedIn, Substack, and X.

Thanks for reading.
