[The Booker Prizes @TheBookerPrizes]

There’s great sadness at The Booker Prizes HQ over the death of Edmund White, reader and writer extraordinaire, who judged the Booker Prize in 1989. His influence on other novelists will continue, as will - in the minds of those who knew him - his joyously wicked sense of humour.

@almackay @ExclusiveBooks @ByrneDeirdre That's so funny! I had no idea either. Eastgate's SA / African section is the best.
I'm biased 'cos I love short stories so much ... probably my favourite of your books so far.
I'm taking it slow, to savour each one.

@almackay Just found this at @ExclusiveBooks Eastgate. So excited to read it! Short stories need so much more love. 💕 @ByrneDeirdre

Whoever from the Trump campaign thought it was an awesome idea to put Trump’s name on the side of a garbage truck—THANK YOU! 🤣

“That’s what girls have to think about all the time." 👏 Actress #SaoirseRonan spoke out on ‘The Graham Norton Show,’ spotlighting the dark reality of violence against women after a joke about self-defense was made. Safety isn’t a joke; it’s a basic right.

The latest episode of the Granta podcast is available now, featuring Alan Hollinghurst.

We discuss his new novel, writing from the outsider’s perspective and cataloguing the chapters of queer life.

Hear him read from his new novel, Our Evenings.

@Nigella_Lawson @chrishawtree Time slows down in a Hollinghurst novel. Decades slip by while you're reading.

[Nigella Lawson @Nigella_Lawson]

Alan Hollinghurst just can’t write a sentence that isn’t beautiful. Am still haunted by the atmospherically glimmering melancholy and elegant wit of Our Evenings, long after finishing it.

[🍺 Donald Clarke📽️ @DonaldClarke63]

Me grilling a hugely amusing Alan Hollinghurst in Dublin tonight. Read OUR EVENINGS. It’s superb.

@DanD_Arcy @GutterDalkey @thegutterbooks What an extraordinarily beautiful venue, where is it? Reading it now; Hollinghurst's most pointedly political novel to date.

@raywongy Not cat-proof. 😅 Took Amazon long enough to figure out water proofing. Cat-proof is exponential AI.
