Why do men not see women as role models, whereas women can see men in that light perfectly easily?
R.I.P. Paul Auster. Here’s his unapologetic advice to young writers. Read ‘The New York Trilogy.’ Read ‘Leviathan.’ Read ‘Travels in the Scriptorium.’
I’m so grateful to @bristolideas, the festival where I did my first ever book event (very badly, I forgot to even explain what the book was about) & actually that event was where I saw a hardcopy of MFTWD for the very first time.

“It’s in Bristol that I found my voice,” says @DavidOlusoga at the celebration of @bristolideas as this inspiring festival closes after 30+ years. A huge wave of appreciation and affection for director @pandaemoniumnow who says “I hope we have helped create a city of friends.”
Book of the Month!! 🐝
Enormously pleased and grateful that THE NEW LIFE has made the shortlist for the Walter Scott Prize, among some great writers.

I honestly don’t think this is parody. But so, so much to enjoy in this. There’s Gary’s face looking delighted; Trump looking like death. And the picture of Melania looking - well nothing like Melania. Happy Mayday

The death of Paul Auster reminds me that the Boomer generation are leaving us earlier than I expected. There are some moving passages about this in Salman Rushdie’s Knife (underlined at speed when reviewing) in which he writes: “Death was showing up at the wrong addresses.”
Perhaps it’s silly to be sad about a man one didn’t know dying at 77, but, oh my goodness, I am so sad about Paul Auster
Can’t believe they’ve got Virginie Despentes to do a sequel to Dear Zoo…
Well deserved! One of my favourite novels of this year. I know a lot of people who’ve gone out and bought You Are Here in the last week. It’ll bring pleasure to a lot of people.

Thanks so much for all of these suggestions. Sorry I don’t have time to reply to everyone but I have a great list to be getting on with.
Books people! What are the most exciting books being published from June-Dec this year? Putting together a document.
Excited about these upcoming books, all by authors whose work I love.

Really feel quite sickened. We use the phrase 'performative cruelty' quite a lot. The thing is, it feels awful to watch acts of cruelty. But to see people behave cruelly specifically because they think it'll make them more popular is so much worse.
Honestly this so so horrible- shame on the Home Office for flaunting other people’s shame and misery in this way.

I’m so grateful to @bristolideas, the festival where I did my first ever book event (very badly, I forgot to even explain what the book was about) & actually that event was where I saw a hardcopy of MFTWD for the very first time.
“It’s in Bristol that I found my voice,” says @DavidOlusoga at the celebration of @bristolideas as this inspiring festival closes after 30+ years. A huge wave of appreciation and affection for director @pandaemoniumnow who says “I hope we have helped create a city of friends.”
Wow. Just got a DM saying ‘I got your out of office and I know you’re on holiday… but thought I could catch you here about work!’ Erm, nope. This is not acceptable.

Paul Auster occupies space on my shelves and even more so in my imagination, mainly thanks to those brilliant paperbacks on top, all of which I devoured in my early 20s. A big loss.
@wmarybeard Also it's an irrelevant reply. People go to China, Saudi, the Maldives and other repressive countries on holiday and cheap holidays to Spain and Greece took off when Franco and the colonels were in power
@JohannaTC I still don't believe Martin Amis is gone.
A very sad day at Faber. Paul was one of the true greats, with a remarkable body of work that will continue to leave a huge impression on us and so many writers. An honour to work with him.
