Joe Dunthorne: Lessons from the Mosh Pit 22 Aug 2012

Wed¹, 22 Aug 12

Novelist and poet Joe Dunthorne asks what can we learn about living together from the mosh pit at a rock gig? Joe asks whether we should we all be a bit more open to social interaction. He contrasts the boisterous² pushing and shoving at a rock gig with the quiet carriage on the train. In one, he argues, everyone rubs along, and if you need something, you say it. The same cannot be said for the quiet carriage.
