Well, we finally settle an important debate on the Rippling Pages
Is smoking better to write about than vaping?!
But it opens up a cultural debate with Ana Schnabl about perceptions of behaviours on FLOOD TIDE

On #WorldCancerDay a post about my book which contains the transcript of the conversation where I learnt of my breast cancer diagnosis. 👇
I'd like to tell you about my latest book: OWN SWEET TIME from @cbeditions.bsky.social (free UK post).
It's a strange book: on the righthand pages runs the verbatim transcript of the conversation I had with an oncologist about my #breastcancer diagnosis. 1/

Proofs are really fun because essentially we don't have to get approval from anyone. We just send the designers the copy and... give them free rein... these are two of our summer novels and couldn't be more different ALTHOUGH, mind you, both have masculinity and belonging at their heart

This publishes tomorrow from @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social
I love the way Makenna plays with the idea and images of structures- there’s a really neat riff on the idea of an ego as a kind of structure and container.
It’s so smart.
