The remarkable reign of the platinum queen was almost too perfect | Andrew Rawnsley

Since I first learned about it in the early 2000s, when I lived down the road, one of mine has been the Mole Man’s house.He was William Lyttle, a civil engineer who liked to dig.

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery review – sequel has more bang for buck but blunter weapon
Toronto film festival: Rian Johnson’s entertaining follow-up brings back Daniel Craig and the same, if less potent, cocktail of twists and mysteryThe hugely deserved enthusiasm that met Rian Johnson’s crafty, infectious 2019 whodunnit Knives Out was of such frenzied intensity that it didn’t just launch a franchise, it helped relaunch a genre, one that had been mostly dormant for decades.

‘Songs are little dangerous bombs of truth’: Nick Cave and Sean O’Hagan – an exclusive book extract
The musician and writer have turned hours of lockdown phone conversations into a book.

I have known Nick for more than 30 years, but in that time our paths tended to cross only fleetingly, often backstage at his concerts or when I was asked to interview him. T
