I wanted to hit up some fiction this month, and was struck by the idea to read Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell because, beyond just being one of those books you’ve seen around someplace, it was brought back to (my) cultural consciousness last year when its author, Susanna Clark, published a new novel, Piranesi. I was in the mood for a light touch of the gothic from having watched the Showtime series Penny Dreadful over the past few weeks, a very fun and over-the-top mashup of classic Victorian characters and modern horror tropes. ![]()
