Knee-jerk observations and hot takes that don't age well or properly capture the spirit of the moment. It takes a truly talented writer A Letter to be able to capture the zeitgeist of a particular event or era of political history. Austerity Britain, the student riots, Donald Trump, Brexit – so much of what is, and has been, written in the immediate aftermath of these phenomena has been proven by time to be frothy and insubstantial and ultimately not particularly powerful or incisive. Inevitably (and perhaps disappointingly for people who do enjoy fiction of this nature), the best writing about current political events is that which is written when the events in question are no longer current and when time and experience has afforded the writer the benefit of a more objective view.|isbn= 1529423376}}{{Frontpage|isbn=057137493X|title=The Other Half|author=Charlotte VassellLuminous Deep
