"Reading Yōko Tawada is an immensely fun & occasionally bewildering experience. SUGGESTED IN THE STARS combines a linguistic playfulness with a mind-expanding worldview...Margaret Mitsutani’s [translation] is exquisite.'

@KirkdaleBooks @isabelwaidner I'm hoping we'll have bound proofs in mid-December! I'll send you one as an early Christmas present!

[Jason Arthur @JasonArthur01]

‘A hilarious, important novel. A correct & a real one. There is something in the writing that is wild in a virtuosic way &, needless to say, hugely intelligent’

The wonderful @isabelwaidner had an early read of Nicola Barker's forthcoming #TonyInterruptor

[Jason Arthur @JasonArthur01]

‘Seductively gothic…[Enriquez] is at the height of her powers...This might be her most untrammelled – & certainly her most unwavering – collection yet. It’s an array of stories that will keep you in their chokehold’ @prospect_uk

[Jason Arthur @JasonArthur01]

These are really gorgeous editions!

Time reread Han Kang.

[Granta Books @GrantaBooks]

If you’ve been into a bookshop lately you might have seen these three stunning new re-jackets of Nobel Prize-winner Han Kang’s books 🤍

Which one is your favourite?

This is brilliant news to start the day! Nicola Barker is one of the funniest, and most creative novelists working today. I’m sure it’ll be a triumph 👇

Huge congratulations to Han Kang!

Delighted for @GrantaBooks (who still publish her very best book).

If you've never read her, THE VEGETARIAN is THE book to start with!

Jonathan Reynolds and two senior staff went to Glastonbury as guests of YouTube. Until then, Labour was promising to increase the digital service tax from 2% to 10%. Literally the day after the festival, it emerged that Reynolds had ditched the policy. https://t.co/LaYgCyoYb5
