Bye bye Twitter or X or whatever. Gone to Threads, for now.

Take that in. Then try wrapping your head around the fact that we’re only seeing the beginning of a destabilising planet, while remembering that GHG emissions are still rising and the companies largely causing this are making record profits.

A bit concerning, don’t you think?

@adamm0rgan Old God’s Time, Sebastian Barry. Shattering novel.

‘Ashby should be applauded for the nuance with which she portrays the choices available to women’

@lancerichardson I know exactly what you mean.

[Chloë Ashby @chloelashby]

Monstrous art, @LaurenElkin writes, is weird and bold. ‘What makes it good – what sets it apart – is its commitment to a sometimes-scathing honesty.’ You could say the same for this superb book. My review for @spectator https://t.co/2ANlE4LlWR

'My period being late should at least have been a nuisance. An unwelcome surprise, like rain without an umbrella, or off milk on cereal.'

Out today with @HachetteUK, we share an exclusive extract from @chloelashby's new novel, Second Self.
