And to anyone waiting for the new novel, thanks for your patience, too. Sorry it's taking so long. It's the strangest, trickiest fish I've ever tried to land, but hopefully it'll be worth the wait. Home straight now.

Should you enter the small black iron door, good luck.

Apologies for my long hibernation. I've been working on my big new novel, and I feel a guilty if I post Xs (right word?) before handing in the manuscript to my patient editors. However...

To everyone coming to my event at Bath with Mat Osman this evening – SO SORRY but it's cancelled. The plane I boarded this morning developed a fault prior take off. Rebooking was chaotic & slow, so I've had to drive back home. Really disappointed. My Hay event should be OK.

[David Mitchell @david_mitchell]

@MalcolmWilson01 See you there Malcolm.

[David Mitchell @david_mitchell]

@samdownie @lilly_wachowski Sam, I hope all goes well on 24th. Next time eh. And if you see a vision of Agent Smith while you're wired up, do like Neo and kick his agent-y ass.

Very much looking forward to a few dates in the UK this month. It's been a long old time.

[David Mitchell @david_mitchell]

@Brad_D_Heywood See you in Edinburgh, Bradley. I have to ask, What was the Adam Ewing quote?

[David Mitchell @david_mitchell]

@PolisLoizou @WaterstonesNG Really looking forward to it, @PolisLoizou (and Nottsfolk). Looking thru your profile, *I* should interviewing *you*. See you Monday 13th @WaterstonesNG

@roberthouse1985 Thanks ZombieDuck. I'm afraid that's a slightly hurried-looking signature. If you can bring it to an event this month I'll add a fancy doodle for free. Quack Quack.

@MedleyDave @daveholwill @terryandrob @nickhornby Morning David, I read ESPEDAIR STREET years ago (decades ago!) during a single late shift at Waterstone's in Canterbury. I still remember scenes from it. Thanks for reading UTOPIA AVENUE.

[David Mitchell @david_mitchell]

@stuart_cornes Hi Stuart. Yes.

[David Mitchell @david_mitchell]

@MrBure @St0eve You're not entirely wrong Tehol (I can't find an emoji that conveys that, so here's Mr Monocle.)🧐
When/if there's firm news, I'll post about it here.

[David Mitchell @david_mitchell]

@ToppingsEdin Toppings! Thanks for my shot at karmic redemption after my Notorious Online No-Show in 2020(?)! Hopefully my recurring nightmares of lost laptops, forgotten passwords & WiFi failure will be exorcised by visiting you in person on Wednesday 15th May.

[David Mitchell @david_mitchell]

@jenniferboeder Thanks Jennifer. Nothing CLOUD ATLAS-y Stateside I'm afraid, but the new book's shaping up OK, so hopefully see you next year.

[David Mitchell @david_mitchell]

@TheoHakkert Thanks Theo. Spring in West Cork was postponed until about week ago – now it's almost too blue, silver, gold and green. I hope all is well in the Netherlands.

[David Mitchell @david_mitchell]

@MrBure The story is too long for Twitter/X Tehol, but the adaptation of a section of it is under discussion. Sorry that's the most I can say for now, but thanks for caring about the strangest black sheep of the family.

[David Mitchell @david_mitchell]

@nettirw aw, Michael! I hope at least you're having a pleasant stay somewhere warm and maritime.
