A huge thanks to @gavinfranc and @Kinhead for an all-encompassing conversation about The Bridge Between Worlds to celebrate its launch last night. Thanks also to everyone who joined us and snapped up a book or a cupcake (or both)! 🌉

Lovely motor. Lovely hair. Lovely clothes. Doing very well for himself … as Musk knows, and as plenty of journos know, there is money to be made in stirring up hatred and telling people all their problems will be solved if we just other the others and see where it leads

Always nice to stumble upon a Canongate review in my Saturday reading - but more so when it’s as dazzling a write up as this Kevin Barry review from @sannewman:
“I doubt that anyone will publish a novel this year that is at once so beautiful, so lovable and so much fun.”
Wherever you stand on FFB and BG I would encourage you to read Anna’s thread. We have a problem to solve together cc @FerretScot
This is a really useful thread from Andrew, who’s been organising literary festivals in this country for longer than most - and, as former director of the much-missed @bristolideas - knows better than most the funding options available, and the pain of seeing a festival close.

When BARCELONA came to Dublin…
The happiest of publication days today to Mary Costello and all at Canongate publishers with BARCELONA, a short story collection already excepted in the New Yorker and drawing comparisons to James Joyce.
Mary Costello’s new collection is out this week. As @JoyceCarolOates observes it’s exceptionally good on our relationship with animals

Meet Rocky ❤️new boy to GDS rescued from a situation not at all suitable. He had a lump on his leg which was removed & came back MASTOCITOMA SUBCUTÁNEO. They’re sure everything is out & we hope in the future nothing comes back. He’s 8yrs old, really calm (acts older than he is ) & really needs a home as kennel life is a bit overwhelming for him, he’s more of a grandpa with checkered slippers. Could you share? 🙏🏻❤️
