The High Low

Hello High Lowers! Sharpen your pencils, the heat wave is over and a new school term is upon us. We cover some of the news stories of the summer plus our favourite bonkers surveys, including a shockingly disgusting underpants poll and the best place to find love (Oxford, apparently). Plus, it's Pandora's favourite prize of the year - no, not the Pulitzer, not even the Nobel - it's Rear of the Year.Reccs Euphoria on SkyGame Face on Channel 4Scarlett Curtis on Russell Brand’s Under The SkinGiles Coren on novel acknowledgements https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/pretentious-bores-make-me-want-to-burn-every-book-7lh5cv8cnIndistractable, by Nir EyalCribsheet, by Emily OstlerWe Need New Stories, by Nesrine MalikSuch A Fun Age, by Kiley ReidThe Most Fun We Ever Had, by Claire LombardoTwas The Night Before Christmas, by Adam KayOn Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous, by Ocean VuongOlive Kitteridge, by Elizabeth StroutExpectations, by Anna Hope Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris Calypso by David Sedaris T
