Session Two: Writing from the Last Decade

You are asked to read Will Self on Battersea Power Station (2013) and Jonathan Meades on Zaha Hadid (2008). These are well known writers and broadcasters and simply Googling will bring up the texts, although you may have to register (for free) to get the whole text. We shall be looking not just at the content of these two pieces of writing but the tone, one rather resigned to events (Self) and one cleverly bemused (if you can be such a thing).
