PPC 119

PPC 119 takes us from Vienna in the 1920s, to a brilliantly funny essay on rhyming Cockney slang by Blake Perkins. Try these out on your friends; ‘ship in full sail’ for ‘pint of ale’; ‘Jack the Rippers’ for kippers; and ‘fisherman’s water’ for daughter (the mind boggles).  Susanne Belovari, the winner of the 2020 Sophie Coe Prize, gives us an essay on Viennese Cuisine (Wiener Küche), from both Viennese Jews and non-Jews. The other essays are equally erudite, and we urge you to buy the issue using the tab below.
