More than sixty Londoners with very diverse backgrounds, from drill singers to Russian oligarchs, passing through aristocrats and politicians and artists, stroll through Caledonian Road (More Books/Libros del Asteroide), translated into Catalan by Albert Nolla and Víctor Ruiz Aldana. The main character is a white, middle-aged art historian who feels comfortable with everyone and pretends not to care about money. Writer Andrew O'Hagan (Glasgow, 1968) makes them all talk and manages to portray the effects of arrogance and corruption in post-Brexit British society. It's a work of fiction, but many things can be seen in the pages of this novel. A finalist for the Brooke Prize on three occasions, O'Hagan also has extensive experience as a journalist.

No more ham for friends or family living in Great Britain. At least legally and temporarily. Starting this Saturday, people arriving from the European Union and other European countries will no longer be able to bring in a number of meat and dairy products. The ban, which aims to prevent the spread of foot-and-mouth disease, which is ravaging some countries in the east of the continent, affects both tourists and residents returning from their holidays. People entering directly from Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man, Jersey, or Guernsey are excluded.
