The Lit Cafe has always been a refuge for me during fallow periods or what the French call “La Period Creuse.” I have always loved the idea of this site - wanting it be a community of interesting ideas and actions. The obvious start was books - a natural home for all these things. But 10 years on—is that enough? So, the challenge over the next few months will be to reshape and renew The Cafe…and perhaps myself along the way.
