This is the best book I’ve read in many months. It is simultaneously deeply human, sharp, analytically and emotionally intelligent. I don’t want the book to end. Ever.

Still from René Clair’s 1924 film Entr’acte, in which a bowler-hatted Satie is cavorting with Francis Picabia next to a cannon on a Paris rooftop
“Satie and Picabia . . . leap up and down in what might be some kind of ritual exorcism to dispel the spirit of gravity.” Enjoying Ian Penman’s playful Erik Satie: Three Piece Suite @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social
‘This was how to better understand language, to develop a violet crush on somebody.’
Polly Barton’s new book from @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social is out next month.
Her oeuvre is really shaping up. Exposure of ourselves through language, our bodies, and desire
‘the Greyhound is a moving space inhabited largely by those who cannot afford alternatives…’
Just a few of the words composing a passionately comprehensive review.

‘All of Enard’s books share the hope of transposing prose into the empyrean of pure sound, where words can never correspond to stable meanings. He’s the composer of a discomposing age.’ — Joshua Cohen, New York Times.

I’ve finished my scribblings in respect of Matthew Rice’s ‘Plastic’. Posted on relevant intranet site full of bookish folk.
@irishlittimes.bsky.social @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social
It's reprinting at the moment.
Fantastic representation of work floor thoughts, wanderings and the rawness of lives in passing. Working on a review of Plastic, then on to O’Farrell’s Land 🫡

This really is another exquisite book from @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social — It’s both life in miniature and hugely expansive. “But there’s no preservation without possession”… so many beautiful, thought provoking passages in its pages.

Arkady, by Patrick Langley. Brothers Jackson and Frank live on the margins of a big urban sprawl. From abandoned tower blocks to gleaming skyscrapers, their city is brutal, beautiful and divided. As anti-government protests erupt across the teeming metropolis, the brothers sail in search of the Red Citadel and its promise of a radical new way of life. A striking portrait of the precarity of modern urban living, and of the fierce bonds that grow between brothers, Patrick Langley's debut Arkady is a brilliant coming-of-age novel, as brimming with vitality as the city itself.

Two brothers living in the sprawl of an unnamed British city in a troubled time not far from our own set out in search of a different life. An excellent coming-of-age story and debut novel brought to us by @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social . A bit more in the alt text as usual.
⭐⭐⭐⭐

Just arrived from @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social. I enjoyed Cooper’s book Brian so much I’m reading this now.
Here Anthony Cummins reviews JEremy Cooper's new book "Discord" @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social , adding to the mystery rather than attempting to solve it. An admirable approach.
