But this is the best one

Me and - as my co-founder of the festival, @paulwaters.bsky.social put it - ‘my sequel’

Note his pride of place ‘Author’ lanyard. As he would tell you: “I’ve written 7 books, you know!”

We laughed, we talked history and class differences, indomitable nuns, and whether foreign authors or their translators should 'pander' to an English-speaking audience. Great evening with Teresa Solana, Peter Bush, @paulwaters.bsky.social at Catalonia House!

Halloween Horror!!
Title: Halloween Horror An upper tier of images labelled "Horrifying" and a lower tier labelled "Utterly Horrifying" The first column has a floating skull above, and a floating skull who borrows books and never returns them below. The second column has an evil fog above, and an evil fog with some really awful opinions below. (the fog is saying "we've got the internet so we don't need libraries") The final column has a slime fiend above, and a slime fiend who browses bookshops then buys online below.

Around the streets of Chandni Chowk - ear excavation (in the traffic, mind me elbow!), wee cuppa tea, fixing the wiring & a big load on a wee woman. #Delhi #India #streetlife
Man cleaning other man’s ear in the street in Delhi. Man pouring tea through a sieve in to cup beside the street in Delhi. Man on a ladder held upright by companions so he can adjust wiring above the street in Delhi. Small woman carrying big load in a plastic sack on the footpath in Delhi.
