2 h. ago To Rest Our Minds and Bodies by Harriet Armstrong review – a singular new voice

This blackly comic debut is an astute and funny examination of the pain and pleasure of first loveThe heart is a peculiar organ. It wants what it wants, as Emily Dickinson wrote. Especially when you’re young and have no previous experience of love and desire, or the deleterious effects of time on both. This is the core subject of 24-year-old Harriet Armstrong’s debut novel, To Rest Our Minds and Bodies, published by the consistently adventurous independent press Les Fugitives.When the unnamed narrator, a third-year psychology student, meets fellow student Luke in their campus kitchen, she falls hard. They begin sharing meals and confidences in her room, which bears a “suicide beam” running the length of the ceiling. This memento mori is archly juxtaposed with the narrator’s breathless infatuation, which feels as if “some great transition was occurring inside me, something was aligning, I could actually feel it”. She finds herself “wide open and completely soft like a small trem...

If you consume too much true crime it starts to infect your routine. Let your dog off the leash in any lonely overgrown place and you’ll start to worry she’ll come bounding out of the undergrowth with a body part in tow. Maybe that’s my personal fear, but Joyce Carol Oates taps straight into it with the gripping, disgusting and darkly comic opening to her latest novel, Fox.

13 h. ago Oasis review – a shameless trip back to the 90s for Britpop’s loudest, greatest songs

Principality Stadium, CardiffPlaylist Oasis is fine in the stand but it looks like an insult in the headBrothers in arms: Noel and Liam reunite on the Oasis reunion tour – in pictures‘Liam hasn’t sounded that good since the 90s’: fans react to the first night of the Oasis reunion tourThe noise from the audience when Oasis arrive onstage for their first reunion gig is deafening. You might have expected a voluble response. This is, after all, a crowd so partisan that, between the support acts, cheer the promotional videos – the tour’s accompanying brand deals seem to involve not just the obviously Oasis-adjacent sportswear brand Adidas, but the more imponderable Land Rover Discovery. Even so, the noise they make as the reconsitituted Oasis launch into Hello takes you slightly aback, and not just because Hello is a fairly ballsy choice of opener: this is, after all, a song that borrows heavily from Hello! Hello! I’m Back Again by Gary Glitter. But no one in Cardiff’s Principality Stadi...

It’s the most anticipated tour date in recent memory, bringing Noel and Liam Gallagher back together on stage for the first time since 2009. See it unfold here – from setlist to stadium singalongsWhile the Oasis subreddit is overspilling with speculation and excitement about the first gigs of the reunion tour, the Cardiff subreddit has been driven up the wall by banal questions from non-locals about travel logistics. It’s inspired increasingly deranged spoof posts about the so-called Organisation for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards, that green Oasis® foam used for floral arrangements, the fruity soft drink Oasis and where you can weigh your sister in the city geddit oh-weigh-sis.Fans have been soaking up the atmosphere – though I’m not sure that cardboard Liam is too happy about it.
