"Tortoise Quarterly" is more magazine than book—it features thematic collections of longer articles from the Tortoise website.
In this edition, I particularly enjoyed Martin Samuel's profile of Gary Linekar (who I previously knew almost nothing about), Zelda Perkins's account of producing a musical with and for David Bowie, Susie Walker's story of life as a female stand up comedian, and Simon Barnes's deep dive into the causes of flooding in the UK.
