“If you are someone who’s ever loved a small city local legend that got chewed up by the impossible-ness of their existence, or evaporated in the mist of their own gorgeousness before they could become part of the bigger world, see this show if at all possible.” - Mary Gaitskill

@BenMyers1 I’ve never seen it and hope to keep it that way. It’s like something Charlie Brooker would have written as a listing for TVGoHome in 1999, but dismissed as too absurd.

@BenMyers1 @FJMozley What about the North of Reading?

[Matt Dyson @dysontwit]

@agent_luck Blimey, I had no idea this was coming out. Colin Barrett’s debut novel and a new Kevin Barry book in the same year. And Willy Vlautin’s new one. Great stuff.

[Matt Dyson @dysontwit]

@BenMyers1 Yes, it’s criminal. And at the same time by removing access to open water and a right to roam/float they are attempting to criminalise anyone who swims outside. Thank god we still have a few lidos and lakes left.

@BBC6Music @JamesSkellyBand @BBCSounds New Day by Night Beats would be a good one. It sounds like a doomed, bullet-ridden anti-hero outlaw fleeing town on horseback. And the whole album sounds like it could be a mini psych-rock western. #NP6Music

@RealDysonator It’s like something from Charlie Brooker’s old TVGoHome ‘Daily Mail Island’ listings.

@EdibleReading Maison de Vin.

[Matt Dyson @dysontwit]

@EdibleReading There’s a municipal place which reminded me of the 3Bs. Only filled floor to ceiling with wine. All subsidised and pretty cheap. It might be the Wine Cafe. Wine institute. I can’t remember, which is really useful, isn’t it? Anyway, that was good. But the whole city is ace.

@ColinBarrett82 About bloody time. I can’t keep promoting your short stories to friends and family, lying about future releases.
‘Oh yeah he’ll definitely write a novel soon.’
‘When?’
‘Soon.’
‘How soon?’
‘20…erm……some time in the spring’

** This is great news.

@memorialdevice @reversediorama Happy birthday @reversediorama

@caitlinmoran I think this argument is totally lacking nuance. I live in a first floor flat so a downstairs loo makes total sense. I always break in to my neighbour’s ground floor flat to poo. Then again there’s a flat above me as well. So maybe the argument still stands?

[Matt Dyson @dysontwit]

@leebrackstone This sounds absolutely perfect. And that Guardian interview he did was really reassuring in that it showed you can still take risks and briefly break into the mainstream, without writing 80000 words of lifeless, beige bollocks for a mythical well-adjusted middle class audience.

An amazing answer in all sorts of ways. Wonderful. Richard Milward!https://t.co/JEvDKZEp5r

As 2022 draws to a close, it’s time for us to reflect on another packed year and look back at all the great books and writers we’ve been fortunate enough to publish…

🐇 Cheers to everyone who has read and supported these - and you can find them all at https://t.co/2hRsXrK4TD

@ListenUpMusic_ @leebrackstone You can’t get much broader than a decade. But it’s your piss-poor list, so I really don’t care.

@leebrackstone *imagined

[Matt Dyson @dysontwit]

@leebrackstone Bloody hell. It’s like a Tesco’s Father’s Day recommended albums list. Or like being trapped for eternity on an imaged episode of Sunday Brunch, inside Tim Lovejoy’s head.
