We've looked at a few books on JGBC with themes desire as of late, and 2022's I'm A Fan took on a life of its own post-release for absolutely nailing the topic through a modern day lens. It's an astute, sharp and witty book that Joel has recommended "the arse out of" since it came out. So yeah! A good one this week!

In this episode, Joel's broken every rule in the book and reviewed his own book, which is a book of reviews. It's all very meta, but essentially, 'Four Stars', his new book comes out in a couple days and he's broken it down, told some anecdotes, shared some influences and given you the first taste of what's to come.

In the tenth episode of Joel Golby's Book Club, we're exploring Desire, a memoir from Jonathan Dollimore; a book which explores theories of identity, mortality and, as the name might suggest, desire. It's also book filled with motorbikes (cool), dick sucking (cool) and falling in love with Latvian dudes you don't know the surnames of (cool).

This week, Joel dives into the oldest book so far. From 1976, it's Ann Beattie's 'Chilly Scenes Of Winter' - a book in which a pretty normal guy called Charles - deliberates over whether he's zipping up his coat too quickly. Is it good? Let's find out!
