Ben Harris-Roxas reviewed Palestine Laboratory by Antony Loewenstein
Timely and important
4 stars
An important and timely book that shows the extent of the Israeli security state's international reach and influence. A downside is that the chapters don't really cohere and the style is more like a collection of long-form articles.

Vastly better than Peter Green's execrable 2005 translation.

Ben Harris-Roxas started reading The Poems of Catullus by Gaius Valerius Catullus
I was reminded of Catullus' poems when helping my kid with their Latin homework. What a revelation! I was far too young and naïve to really appreciate his work when I first read it.
Romantic, learned, whimsical and utterly filthy. A poster so devoted to the craft we still talk about him 2,000 years later.
This edition is surprisingly bowdlerised, given it's a relatively recent one, but that's Americans for you. Still, it places his poems in their proper context and they've been a delight to revisit.
