Sorry about postponed London date, but all good wishes to @coryhanson.bsky.social
Glad this went down well with the family.
Just caught wonderful @coryhanson.bsky.social Kpex performance on You Tube. Top stuff. Looking forward to UK tour.
Afraid I laughed just now when I read that all the novels on the Booker list are ‘brilliantly human.’
Deeply alarmed to see the world’s leading demagogue on the news just now wearing a ‘What would Orwell think!’ T shirt.
Great to hear the wonderful @coryhanson.bsky.social is playing the Moth Club Hackney in February!
Always a reliable critic..,
Apropos of this, very sorry to hear just now of death of Byron Rogers, Carr’s biographer.
Greatly enjoyed this tribute to the great Jim Carr.

Delighted to report that @coryhanson.bsky.social ‘I Love People’ is the business and joins @stereolabgroop.bsky.social album as best thing I’ve heard this year.
I think that was the idea. Terrific cover.
Superb design job by @yalebooks.bsky.social for pb of Who is Big Brother? Out next month @orwellprize.bsky.social
Was looking at it last week!
Great to see three generations of the family getting a mention!
Very depressed to learn that @thetls.bsky.social is going fortnightly as of 6 September. Little enough space for serious book reviewing as it is.
Love this illustration to Critic piece in support of my new short story collection Poppyland @saltpublishing.com This is ‘The Frogman’, who prowled the streets of south-west Norwich in my childhood.
Andrew O’Hagan terrific on Joan Didion in new @lrb.co.uk
