It’s #NationalPoetryDay. So why not buy a copy of my new book, which combines my own reportage from conflict zones with selected poems? If you thought war poetry was all by the Great War soldier-poets, think again. There are so many great women war poets from across the globe.

And just how wonderful is this cover for FILTERWORLD, designed by the great Oliver Munday? So happy to be working with Kyle, @CarolineMEisen and @PlittyC in bringing this out in the UK. Coming Jan 24 - and available for pre-order now.

I couldn't be more excited to share the cover of @chaykak's FILTERWORLD, out from @doubledaybooks in Jan 2024. A hugely revelatory look into how algorithms shape not just what culture we consume, but what culture is produced-- and the unsettling empty sameness that results

An absolutely fascinating article by @d_a_robson

My new piece for @ObsNewReview examines the “foreign language effect” in thinking. Very much enjoyed writing this one! theguardian.com/science/2023…

How thinking in a foreign language improves decision-making

Research shows people who speak another language are more utilitarian and flexible, less risk-averse and egotistical, and better able to cope with traumatic memories

A gorgeous (though unfortunately paywalled) review of GOODBYE EASTERN EUROPE by Robert D. Kaplan in the Wall St. Journal over the weekend: wsj.com/arts-culture/books/g…

‘Goodbye, Eastern Europe’ Review: Between Russia and the West

After the Berlin Wall fell, few states wanted to identify as ‘Eastern European.’ But the region has a rich and vital common history.

I loved talking to Lorrie Moore about this book - it’s a novel that stays with you, with deep truths folded into its wild set up and caustic humour, such a tender exploration of love and resistance, and philosophies of living and dying.
Literary Friction@LitFriction20 Jul 2023
Our latest show, Dark Comedy with Lorrie Moore, is ready wherever you listen 🌝🍊 In which we speak to Lorrie about her brilliant new novel, I Am Homeless If This Is Not My Home, and dig into the potential and limitations of working with dark humour. Enjoy! 💜
