The themes of this issue of Worms are broad and sprawling. We look at humour, collage, and honesty - finding what’s relatable in the literature we love, and uncovering what it tells us about the present moment. Sheena Patel, our cover star, delves into the internet in all its darkness and hilarity, Elvia Wilk discusses the climate crisis and finding truth in fiction, and Chris Kraus and Ann Rower chat about everything from their influences to what a ‘career’ means as a writer. From Cosey Fanni Tutti to Lola Olufemi to Isabel Waidner, there are many more Worms to be found in these pages.
