Charles Dickens is not just for Christmas, but for life. "So many Dickens characters summon up the peculiar spirit of 2020 that it is hard to choose between them. In 'Bleak House', Old Krook spontaneously combusts, which feels like a fitting end to the year. In 'Hard Times', Mr Gradgrind tries to 'weigh and measure any parcel of human nature', neatly encapsulating modern officialdom’s obsession with targets and algorithms. In 'Little Dorrit', the Barnacle family controls the business of the Circumlocution Office much as well-connected Tories enjoy the benefits of government outsourcing today." The Economist reflects.
