A Sale of Two Cities

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way – in short, last summer was so far like the present period, inasmuch as our #readeverywhere photo contest is back, that some of its noisiest entries deserve to be re-shared, to introduce our new competition categories for 2018, in the superlative degree of inspiration only.

Tag your #readeverywhere entries on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter as the #bestoftimes or the #worstoftimes to celebrate our sale of two cities: a whole year of the London Review of Books and the Paris Review for one low price (for new subscribers only, with apologies to existing subscribers). The prizes, as last year, will be provided by Aesop skin care.
