To see the British Labour Party, whose whole thing is "We Win Things But You Radical Fools Wouldn't Know Anything About That", come in 3rd because they couldn't bear to select the candidate that would win is just incredibly funny.
And Matt Goodwin who DID NOT win
Goooood morning
THE NATIONAL TELEPATHY by Rogue Larraquy, translated by Frank Wynne (Charco, 2024)
This novel asks: what if, in 1930s Argentina, there was a weird sloth that facilitated telepathy? thereby unloosing a manic grotesque fever dream of colonisation and power and state surveillance? It's good stuff.

Thanks Amol for reminding me of how good this is: www.youtube.com/watch?v=L97H...
"Creation of the Birds" by Remedios Varo illustrates a mystical scene where a humanoid owl creature meticulously paints birds into existence with the aid of scientific instruments and alchemical tools. The rich surreal setting reflects Varo's fascination with magic, science, and transformation, merging the boundaries of art and nature.

A Game of Hide and Seek by Elizabeth Taylor
Been fortunate to read lots of very good things recently, but this stood out. Taylor was exceptional at balancing wit and heartache, and she was so perceptive about both.
Oh, Netherlands!
Tried to go to The Book Club, but TBC is closed

My favourite reads of 2025. Flights swooped in on 29th December and took the gold medal with some ease. Why it took me so long to get to I do not know.
See what's coming from us in spring 2026.
