After growing steadily for nearly a decade, Spoonity hit some rough water last spring when many of its clients shuttered their operations at the outset of the pandemic. The firm’s monthly recurring revenues plummeted 70 per cent in April 2020, forcing it to shift gears and branch out into food delivery.

This book has been cancelled Blake Bailey’s new book on Philip Roth has been withdrawn by its US publisher after multiple allegations of sexual misconduct against the biographer. Should the work be judged by the standards of the life? One of the most striking elements of the allegations against the celebrated literary biographer Blake Bailey was the speed and fervency of his denial. Over the course of recent weeks, Bailey, 57, whose biography of Philip Roth was published last month, has been accused of multiple acts of grooming and sexual assault.
