In Praise of the Feuilleton

Howard Jacobson on the art of the feuilleton....and the joy of the ordinary.

He says the feuilletonists - those writers of short observational pieces - show "you don't have to be tendentious to be of consequence".

He asks us to step back and seek what's important around us...and even question whether there's such a thing as importance at all.
