We are all ready for a little light relief: Alexander McCall Smith on Covid, laughter and why he has been working harder than ever during lockdown

Alexander McCall Smith
It’s coffee time at Alexander McCall Smith’s Edinburgh home, an afternoon ritual usually shared with friends and one the acclaimed author has been missing during lockdown.
But cradling a cup on a Zoom call, the prolific novelist is clearly making the best of our new digital social life after many months conducting virtual book tours and taking part in online book festivals around the globe.
The fifth novel in his comic series about the outlandish Professor Moritz-Maria von Igelfeld is about to be published, 24 years after the first and more than a decade after the last, and the latest zany instalment, Your Inner Hedgehog, could not be better timed to lift our lockdown blues.

The new year brings a continuation of old miseries, but a resurgence of extraordinarily good music. Here s our guide to the best albums and tracks of a particularly strong month
I m not sure why, but in a year so far as disastrous as the last, in which musicians fortunes continue to plummet to the point that total collapse looms as a real possibility, the art they ve been releasing sounds stronger than ever.

The trouble with the good times is that while they’re happening, we do not know that they are the good times. They may even seem terrible. To acknowledge that they are the good times is to curse the rest of our lives: they will not be as fun, it’s all downhill from here. Time is the queen bitch who doles out wisdom only in hindsight.
The more we think about it, the more idyllic the 90s seem. There was no social media and the Internet was new. Life was lived face to face, you could touch things, and friends were people you had shared histories with. We experienced boredom, which now seems to be a luxury. It was the last time we thought we understood the world.
