About

Hi, I’m Oli Buckingham

I’m a student living in the UK, and this is my blog. It covers books and current affairs. It posts at the weekends, one bit of writing on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

As of June 2022, I’ll be collating each month’s work into a print pamphlet, available for free upon request (just message me on social media). In the meantime, if you want make sure you catch everything, subscribe with your email.

I hope the stuff on here is entertaining, thought provoking, perhaps even fascinating. If it’s not, well, never mind.
