Eight narrative- and one photo-essay by award-winning authors about their adopted city, London. An excellent little collection originally published in Italy and then by @influxpress.bsky.social . Includes a couple of my favourite authors and is a thoroughly enjoyable read.

The final book finished in 2020 was this eclectic novel full of psychogeography and strange goings on in Hastings from @garetherees.bsky.social and @influxpress.bsky.social . There's some blurb in the alt text as usual and this remains one of my personal favourite.

The Blue Mask (2003) by Joel Lane

I've loved Joel Lane's stories since the gorgeous Influx (@influxpress.bsky.social) reissues started coming out, but this was my first time reading one of his novels. I think I might prefer the stories, but it says something this was still a BOTY. Haunting.

Book 35 of the 40 I aimed to read from my backlog this year was Bindlestiff by Wayne Holloway published by @influxpress.bsky.social
A satire on Hollywood filmmaking, it centres on a film about a hobo in the speculative dystopia of a post-federal USA.

My first encounter with the distinctive work of @garetherees.bsky.social , one of the best chroniclers of modern Britain around. Love the quote that described this as a "retail park Heart of Darkness." 😄 There's info in the alt text and I loved it. @influxpress.bsky.social

'A powerful novel of psychogeography set between two landscapes, urban and rural, in a world palpably on the brink of collapse. Febrile with paranoia and alienation, Paradise confronts the crucial, intimate matter of our time: how ‘to be’ at the end of all things.’
