This is utterly lovely. Thank you, Paul, I appreciate it more than you know. We all have low days as authors, when the words won’t come, and this right here is why it’s worth carrying on.

The Grapes of Wrath is an incredible book. But it's one I have ended up enduring rather than enjoying. It is an examination of desperation, the inexorable slide into poverty and exploitation, driven by the monster of capitalism And yet with the strength to go on even as the way out recedes.

Deactivated my Twitter account today. I am not showing even the merest molecule of support for a power drunk, ketamine-fuelled fascist. Or any fascist, obviously, but today, Musk in particular.

I met Denis Law at a dinner one night. He was on our table and he was utterly charming. Interested in everyone around him, didn’t want attention. A lovely man. RIP #denislaw
