“Who Was Mr. Lovett?”

At the end of 2020, when the world seemed to be on the brink of complete collapse, I found myself consumed with one particularly inconsequential question.

If you, like me, are in desperate need of a mystery to distract yourself from doom scrolling for a few minutes, this piece is for you. I promise it is juicer than you’re expecting.
