#Latest news with #TropicOfCapricornTimes13-05-2025EntertainmentTimesRichard Bean: The White Lotus is unmitigated garbageWhen I was 22 I was working as a personnel officer in a telecoms factory in London and by fluke I started reading a novel in which the narrator was a personnel officer in a telecoms company in New York — that book was Tropic of Capricorn by Henry Miller. It corrupted me because I went from a psychology graduate pursuing a career in personnel management to five or six years later living in a squat trying to be a stand-up comedian. I drank the Henry Miller Kool-Aid. The White Lotus, the Thailand one. It's terrible. The characters and the storyline don't make sense. It's unmitigated garbage but I'm hooked because they start the bloody thing with a murder, so you have to watch
