@xiankiefer Thank you, Christian! (and again for the appropriately feverish GIF shimmy)

[Josephine Rowe @JosephineRowe]

@MicWink @PaulinaOlszanka Mate, I don't... well first are we speaking in marble or meat?

[Josephine Rowe @JosephineRowe]

@AndreaRowe_au @MicWink @BlarneyBooks light years from true, but still appreciated!

@the_shb @guardian please think of the leaf litter

[Josephine Rowe @JosephineRowe]

@MarthaHodes Sending much love to you, dear Martha. I hope he feels very close, and that the New York spring is a comfort x

[Josephine Rowe @JosephineRowe]

@the_shb I mean, they can definitely *RUN* but I didn't... Okay, I am def. fabricating my own Tupperware/broom handle contraption.

[Josephine Rowe @JosephineRowe]

@the_shb 😶 They can jump? (??)

[Josephine Rowe @JosephineRowe]

@LaralaraPp I was going to say: read Greene on Capri! Even if you haven't read—or don't much care for—Greene. I love it as much as TOV. Have actually been hungry for it in this little seaside town (that feels much like an island) and can't wait to dig it out of a book box.

@LaralaraPp (I am a sucker for this love story and got misty in the bookstore at page 1)

[Josephine Rowe @JosephineRowe]

@LaralaraPp Definitely de Kretser for most kindred. But please read the Yates at some point (also good sibling dynamics over a lifetime). And/or I've just picked up the SH bio, and can very much recommend—opens in a similar register to how Greene on Capri leaves off; a Francis-shaped ache..

Klaus Merz while waitin' in the Registry of Births Deaths and Marriages...

@GorDunc44 Oh that's what they are! One came inside last week

@LaralaraPp @St_Bishop_ @OlubasB PS, this Michael Hofmann review has your number: "When I read it I wished all novels could be like that, and didn’t understand why they weren’t."
(And in't "shivered my timbers" a great phrase?)

[Josephine Rowe @JosephineRowe]

@LaralaraPp Have we talked about Michelle de Kretser & Questions of Travel? Also @St_Bishop_ is extraordinary. Other things that come to mind, Richard Yates' The Easter Parada, Kawabata...
Or you can satisfy the Hazzard cravings (as I plan to) w recent bio by @OlubasB https://t.co/JfCDowqTDz
