When you thought you lived in a stable western democracy but some of your coworkers and neighbors start putting party before country to get ahead, then your husband is disappeared. Terrifying and poetic at the same time. Highly recommended.
So many of my new favorite authors are Irish lately.

I thought I’d started this and never finished but then I got to the end and there was that mayonnaise again. Not sure why there are editions with a different cover when there are at least two chapters about the photo. Is it a novel? A poem? Something else?
Clever, amusing.

I read McCann’s Transatlantic last year and really enjoyed both.
This one reminded me a little of DeLillo but with more heart and humanity.
New York, August 1974, is as much of a character as London 1949 is in The Great When.

I was surprised how much I enjoyed this. I'd never read any of his prose and none of his comics for 20 years, but the Swamp Thing sage knocked me out way back when.
An imaginative, ripping yarn. I guess it's intended as a series. I'd read another.

whoa, knocked me out - it goes to some of the same parts of my brain as Sandy Bull and Congotronics and @themodernfolk.bandcamp.com all at once and nothing like any of those but yes, I'm gonna get some of that magnetic tape.

I’d been looking forward to @bourgwick.bsky.social’s book about The Weavers.
I know a lot about the Blacklists; Pete Seeger was always on PBS when I was a kid, and we sang a lot of these songs in elementary school, but I knew next to nothing about The Weavers and all the people in their circles.

My July 4.
Gernika, Spain, where Franco’s fascist troops firebombed their own citizens, killing 10% of the town, April 26, 1937.
