What a joy last night to meet and speak with the brilliant writer and thinker Vincenzo Latronico. It was Vincenzo’s first ever English-language event and it happened on the same day his novel, Perfection, was longlisted for the International Booker. Read it if you haven’t.

The man on the airplane said that you can cause problems for yourself if you are always trying to find out the reason why. The man on the streetcar said he sometimes wondered if there weren’t enough brains distributed at the beginning of the world. —Sheila Heti, Alphabetical Diaries

If there is one writer that I’ll read anything by, it’s the late Janet Frame. “Why need one write a note if one can communicate with a left-over wrapping of silver paper from an empty cigarette packet?”

'Frame refuses to bask in her exceptionalism, her almost miraculous escape. Triumphantly, mournfully, her plots are anti-redemption and anti-assimilation.' Audrey Wollen reviews THE EDGE OF THE ALPHABET by Janet Frame for @newyorker.com: www.newyorker.com/books/second...

Just seen this. It’s a brilliant interpretation of Ernaux’s book. The play did have to stop for a short while to deal with an emergency. I hope the audience member recovered quickly. And what a remarkable piece of acting to pick this up mid-scene.

I was lucky enough to see The Years at the theatre this week. Beautifully acted and directed and profoundly moving. Topping all of that, the star of the show: the words. What a stunning adaptation of Annie Ernaux's memoir. @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social fitzcarraldoeditions.com/books/the-ye...

Impossible to convey all the pleasures of this marvellous book in one post. Enough to say that one of the least of its glories is that it spends almost two pages tracing the affinities between Satie and Les Dawson.
