This is the passing of an utter genius. A poet and innovator whose work, funny and clever and unsentimentally sweet, is a blessing on all the kids who have experienced it.

Let 100 ghost-lions roar. 🦁
Let 100 voyaging turtles swim out to sea. 🐢
Let 100 lovesick owls tap-dance in the light of a rainy taxi cab. 🦉
Let 100 clockwork mice set out on a dangerous journey to find their heart’s desire. 🐭
Happy 100th birthday, Russell Hoban! 🎈📚

🧵 Depending on where you are in the world, it might already be February 4, 2025—and if it isn’t, it will be soon. So happy 100th birthday to the waves and particles that used to be Russell Hoban! Thanks for all the beautiful words and for helping to enlarge the limited-reality consensus. #Hoban100

I look forward to celebrating Russell Hoban’s centenary all 2025 but the day itself has snuck up on me. If you’re yet to discover his wry, melancholy, surreal, philosophical and magic work, try this reading of (maybe) my favourite book of his #Hoban100
Turtle Diary by Russell Hoban - Episode 1 - BBC Sounds
William visits the turtles at London Zoo. Neaera acquires a water-beetle and an aquarium.
