[Simon Okotie is now on Bluesky @SimonOkotie]

Only now starting to read Christine Brooke-Rose for the first time. Why have I waited so long?

[Natalie Ferris @n_l_ferris]

Fay Weldon 💔 Such blistering, canny, clever writing. This portrait has to be a favourite of all author pics, taken in the year she published Booker-nominated Praxis (1978)
‘sisters, when anyone says to you, this, that or the other is natural, then fight.’

[Christine Brooke-Rose Society @CBrooke_Rose]

We may have been a little quiet in recent months, but we’re about to crow all things Brooke-Rose for her centenary year! Keep an eye out for updates in the coming weeks for info & a programme of events in July 2023…

[Natalie Ferris @n_l_ferris]

Read this extraordinary essay. Long may I be haunted by it 🤍
‘when I search for what is left of history’s invisible queer lives, & when I look forward into an uncertain future, what I find is ghosts: an absence that is intimate, abundant, rebellious, and almost enough.’

[Christine Brooke-Rose Society @CBrooke_Rose]
