The culture desk is obviously now planning a trip to see them in action, even though I initially was confused that they were a group of Irish lads rather than someone called Mary.

It’s her first adult novel since the 1970s, and the announcement was a thrilling surprise for a generation who grew up on her books. Girls no longer out late, under pressure or in tears, but grown women, perhaps trying to get on the property ladder or thinking about their biological clocks. I can’t wait to read it.

It also committed a particularly egregious act of digital necromancy, forcing the CGI-assisted return of the late Harold Ramis as Egon Spengler. Thankfully, there’s a limited resource of reverential nostalgia to be squeezed out of the franchise.

So does Lauren Groff. And Rumaan Alam said when he read this novel by Australia author Helen Garner, he was "so stunned that I wanted to run around the block". This was a club I wanted to be part of, so I've been reading some beautifully republished editions of Garner's work, and now I'm fully sold too. The Children's Bach is a short, elegant novel about squashed suburban lives, like a Richard Yates novel but with much less shouting. It's every bit as good as they all say, and you can read it in a weekend. Try it, and then read Garner's 2014 non-fiction book This House of Grief, a shocking true crime story about a man accused of drowning his children, told in spare, startling prose.

They lived a century apart. Both produced vast amounts of varied art during their brief, concentrated careers (Cameron started late, Woodman died young). Francesca Woodman and Julia Margaret Cameron: Portraits to Dream In at the National Portrait Gallery mixes more than 160 of their soft-focused, monochrome prints.

They met in an Eighties pop covers band. “God love him, he was born again but he also partied,” she recalls. “There was a cycle of drink, smoke weed, repent and repeat.” One day he told her: “If you’re not going to sing for the Lord, maybe you shouldn’t sing at all?” She chose her Huey Lewis covers instead, broke off the first of many engagements, and moved to LA, where she blagged her way into the life-changing gig with Jackson. Crow claims she knew Jackson no better at the end of two years than at the start. As her career flourished, she held on to abstract ideas of marriage and children while failing, she says, to appreciate the real-life story she was writing.
