Don't Let Anybody Ever Tell You Blood Is Not Good to Drink On "To the White Sea" by James Dickey, and "334" by Thomas M. Disch

My new Reading Project post is up and FREE TO ALL! In this one, I discuss two distinct, and distinctly discomfiting novels: TO THE WHITE SEA by James Dickey, and Thomas M. Disch's science fiction classic 334.

with @treehousebookshop.bsky.social Chatting about things we'd love to do, incl bringing MT to gigs.
We don't know if it would work, or if there's a market in this area, but, if anyone would like to give it a try, for the joy of performing in this "enchanting" space then we'd love to talk.

Any Brummie of my generation will get a memory jolt when they look at the background of this picture. Can anyone help Mike with his query?

A woman (Lesley) and her mother (Dorothy) in a hospital waiting room - a scene from the miniplay ‘Adam & Yves’

Looks like a theatre company will be acting out my short playscript ‘Adam & Yves’ at a venue in Wimbledon on 31/3. More deets to follow - in the unlikely event you’re in the area on that date, and free, you might like to go along.

This is so so good that I'm even prepared to overlook the brief audience clap-along

Hurray!

"THE BIG GREENBOOKS 500 CLUB".

Since it started last year, with your amazing help, i've been able to send three schools £500 of books each.

We're now approaching the next £500, so today I'll be getting in touch with another school!

I love Bob, but duetting is not his forte...

I do love his books, he's one of the very best for me, will definitely watch.

How far back in time can you understand English? An experiment in language change

Very cool exercise.

A blog post about a visit to an English seaside town is written in ever-older forms of English until it becomes incomprehensible to us. Even though the whole thing is in English. I stopped understanding at 1400.

A reminder that language isn't static.

If you haven't read it, go get a copy asap. #BookSky

Thanks for sharing this, I wasn't aware of it.

Or why not sign up to the second of my 5 talks on Northern European art in the Renaissance? For £40 you can have the recordings to all 5, or each session is £10. I am an actual art historian, in case you wonder about my credentials!

No Digging: The Story of the BBC’s A Ghost Story for Christmas - Jon Dear Interview | Derby QUAD View our latest event: No Digging: The Story of the BBC’s A Ghost Story for Christmas - Jon Dear Interview. See what the available times are for this event.

One week until I’ll be chatting with Mark Norman about my forthcoming book on the BBC’s A Ghost Story for Christmas at QUAD in Derby.

And it’s just one event amongst a plethora of eldritch endeavours at this year’s UK Ghost Story Festival

I read it at 20 and was blown away...I read it at 35 and thought it was puerile fantasy but somehow compelling...maybe now I am 60ish I need to read it again. It's extraordinary in its way, but not 'the greatest love story ever', as the film bills it.

♥️♥️♥️

That's exactly how starlings talk.

We should find another word fairly quickly, I'd say...
