Because the world is utterly depressing rn, I'm gonna host another one of these free masterclasses, because what can we do but think and learn and write and organise. I'll be drilling into the fineries of short story structure (vs novels) and how we can make things of transformative beauty in tiny spaces. Free, online, 1hr, Thur 20 November. Pls RT!

@RowanHLB and i ventured to @BurleyFisher last night to listen to the one and only @YanGeMay (among others) read and discuss her work.
it was a joy, but then again so was the publishing gossip over drinks afterwards.

Fascinating and inspirational. I look forward to reading the amazing @Sarah_L_Brooks's The Cautious Traveller's Guide to the Wastelands.🩷

a beauty this one. sensitive, intelligent, & graceful. the sentences are crisp, but unexpected & playful.
it’s now with my other contemporary favourites in the bookshelf, and whatever yan ge writes next, i will read. (in case yan’s seeing this: this is me asking her to hurry.)
Yan Ge retweeted
got this absolutely stunning book in the post the other day (this green, in love) and now i am resenting work terribly because all i want to do is: glass of wine, bowl of popcorn, and dig in.
thank you for sending @YanGeMay x

we lost Zadie when she reduced the conflict in the North of Ireland down to ‘minor doctrinal differences’ that seemingly had nothing to do with British colonialism or the centuries long dispossession and subjugation of the Irish / Catholic population
In a new essay, Zadie Smith writes about the destructive role of language in the campus protests over the war in Gaza. nyer.cm/K8suwS4
