About
It’s not a bad life, just a bad day. Or least that’s what we’ve been telling ourselves since January. When it’s November and life still isn’t going your way, do you go for a massage, get an ice cream, or wallow in self-pity? Just when we thought we’ve seen it all, four authors discuss the trope of hardship in their work, and how we can get to the light at the end of the tunnel... in due course.
