‘Much of this work has been inspired by the story of Saint Jerome and the lion, which goes like this: Jerome and his scholar brothers are studying together in the cloister when suddenly a lion shows up. The lion is roaring and seems rowdy so the monks go for the crossbow to kill it, but Jerome alone raises a hand: this lion is just wounded! Our hero approaches the lion to find a thorn in its paw, or a broken front leg – accounts vary – and he patches it up using his medical kit. From that day on, the grateful lion stays with him forever, instantly tame.

Initially, I viewed this as a beautiful love story. Who doesn’t want their wound to be recognised? Wildness and woundedness go together. It’s rooted in a sort of promise that the institutional(ised) relationship will shelter one’s wildness from the world, though it’s in the vice versa that it becomes problematic: what does one lose by getting into bed with a scholar saint who promises healing? And what’s a lion doing in a library anyway?’
