It's been a decent week for @cdrose.bsky.social . First, he picked up the @goldsmithsprize.bsky.social for his wonderful novel We Live Here Now, and now he gets to read a passage from my forthcoming novel The Coast of Everything.

Interesting. I have ancestors who spent time in Wexford Gaol and whose complexions were recorded as 'sallow'.
My favourite Hiberno-English-ism isn't any of the obvious ones, it's the fact that when we say "sallow" we mean the opposite of what everyone else means. It's not sickly yellow, it's healthy, positive

Lake of Urine was one of the most important (and funniest) (and most important) (and funniest) books of the last decade. I am very excited for The Coast of Everything.

Pretty much how I felt writing it. @cdrose.bsky.social interviewed in @newstatesman1913.bsky.social because We Live Here Now is (quite rightly) up for the Goldsmiths prize. Thanks to him and to you for reacting to this by immediately preordering The Coast of Everything at www.guillermostitch.com
