I finished this this evening: it is astonishing. Full to bursting with a mad, audacious genius, it's a thoroughly enjoyable carnival of the grotesque but a moving personal story too of an unloved underdog who - despite appearances - wishes harm to no one. Much recommended!
Tucking heartily into this by @akblakemore for the first time tonight. Been very much looking forward to it since loving The Manningtree Witches

Pleased to have this letter published in @thetimes today.
We should be championing nature and the bodies that protect it, not attacking them. It's the only route we have to sustainable growth and a healthy economy.

‘The title of this issue – Last Notes – has a dual meaning, alluding to soundscapes and music, our theme, and also to the fact that this is the last issue of Granta I will edit.’

Happy publication day for Birnam Wood #EleanorCatton! Ingenious, masterful and addictive, ‘a dark and brilliant novel about the violence and tawdriness of late capitalism’@ahmpreston @GrantaBooks
Today we celebrate the publication of some very exciting new books. What better place to start than with BIRNAM WOOD, the new novel from Eleanor Catton, the Booker Prize-winning author of THE LUMINARIES 🖤
