Thomas J Bevan is an essayist of the everyday. A curbside observer of the quotidian, and an idler amid the world of busywork and striving.
This debut collection compiles the first fifty issues of The Commonplace newsletter. Bevan ponders everything from commuting to cats, from gambling to insomnia, from the nature of human folly, to what constitutes a ÔproperÕ lunch.
These life affirming, slyly comical, cautiously optimistic essays are the perfect antidote to the online world of vitriol, echo chambers, and lowest common denominator content.
