@dai_alectic who is falling through the bar?

[Dan Evans @dai_alectic]

Quite like Burnham but again genuinely interested: how does the Manchesterism narrative square with @_isaacrose compelling analysis of the ‘Manchester model’- that it is in fact new Labour urbanism writ large: developer led gentrification + devolved money + some bus investment?

[Dan Evans @dai_alectic]

Happy to have agreed to write a new book with @VersoBooks. My very talented mate Vlad Bortun & I will be writing an analysis of @reformparty_uk as a political movement. We’ll explore their social base, funders, rhetoric, policies & lots more. Due in late 2027

@evangrizlon if you really want to do yourself in, I'd suggest reading the three volumes of the Reiner Stach biography and using the Benjamin translation of diaries as a cross reference. I've just completed my PhD on Kafka and I'm typing this from the recovery unit

Lerner-Leslie-Lessing, company I plan to keep on plenty of book shelves. Thanks @Waterstones

@narrenhut The academic study of Potoooooooo? It’s a module called Potooooooooology

[saul leslie @postpost_its]

@BarneysRubble0 This was great to read, though I reckon there’s more ingredients: A dash of talent, a rush of inspiration, a sprinkling of patience, and an arseload of luck

[saul leslie @postpost_its]

@JoeMulhall_ He should be made aware that the number 1 paperback IS in fact on display at Waterstones ⇩ ⇩ ⇩. If MG can claim BS then so can the rest of us

Buzzing that my novel AWTIWTC gets to share shelf life with @DrFrancesRyan at @newsfromnowhere

Liverpool people! I'll be in conversation with Saul Leslie about his fantastic debut novel next week, Tues 21st April, at Waterstones Liverpool. Link for tickets below. All welcome!

[David Hering @hering_david]

1/3 of the way through this, which they’re calling the ‘first great supermarket novel’. Very funny, scabrous, moving…a true sense of the Britain we’re living in

[John Merrick @johnpmerrick]

Seeing as I’m apparently terrible at avoiding Twitter, I may as well use it for something good — go read Saul Leslie’s new novel! A brilliant, funny and profound book about working at the supermarket

[saul leslie @postpost_its]

@johnpmerrick This is epic, thanks John. Hope the novel helped with the fever. Maybe one day it'll be prescribed on the NHS

[Ava-Santina @AvaSantina]

RPI was 3.6% in February

This will save graduates a whopping... 0.6%
