Enter this strange but ultimately refreshing book by anthropologist Emma Tarlo, Under the Hornbeams, which follows her friendship with two very idiosyncratic men, Nick and Pascal, over a year during the Covid pandemic. The pair, who prefer the term “hobo” to “homeless”, sleep side-by-side in Regent’s Park under the titular trees. When it rains, they stand up all night under umbrellas and the boughs of the trees so they don’t get wet. Tarlo got to know them during lockdowns, when she would bring food almost every day for a year, and they would chat.
