My Ear Is Full of Milk: An anthology writing for Laurel & Hardy

A love letter to the greatest double act in cinema, My Ear Is Full of Milk gathers poets, essayists, and storytellers who have spent a lifetime laughing with, and thinking through, Laurel & Hardy. From pianos grinding their way up impossible staircases to fezzes in Sons of the Desert, from Cobh's bells playing 'Dance of the Cuckoos' to late night VHS marathons, these pieces trace how two men in bowler hats lodged themselves in our language, our families, and our ideas of failure, friendship, and grace. Here slapstick meets philosophy, fandom meets film history, and childhood Saturday mornings sit beside grown-up grief. Edited by Simon Barraclough and Aaron Kent, this anthology is a joyous, strange, and tender tribute to Stan and Ollie, and to everyone who has ever found solace in a pratfall, a slow burn to camera, or a joke that keeps echoing long after the reel ends.
