And the very next day, treat of treats. What a semaine de bonté. If this doesn’t immediately adorn your coffee table when it’s published in January, is it even a coffee table? Mike Silverton is a magician. Preorder links at

The excellent Jonathan Crain interviewed me about my novel The Orange Notebooks (@pressassembly.bsky.social & @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social). We talked about reclaiming the lost language of mourning, my hospital work, bees, the colour orange, lost libraries & more.

Loren Ipsum is, by a wide margin, the most enjoyable novel I've read all year. Here's my review of @andrewgallix.bsky.social's mordantly witty debut in the Guardian. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/n...
Loren Ipsum by Andrew Gallix review – chronically funny satire of the literary scene
Full of word games, in-jokes and grisly murders, this debut pours gleeful scorn on the pretensions of contemporary literary life

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
