Sometime on Sunday, 24th April, saw the launch of Omar Sabbagh’s Morning Lit: Portals After Alia and Edward Raggs’s And Then the Rain Came. With Omar in Dubai, Edward in Beijing, and people watching in the UK, the United States, and elsewhere around the globe, there was a confusion of time zones (morning, noon and night). But everyone agreed the readings were fantastic. “A great way to spend a Sunday” as someone commented.
