Not today, Jeff. We can’t let our literary culture & reading lives be controlled by a billionaire. Amazon may sell lots of books but with complete disregard for their workers, their partners, the planet and our communities. From today, buy your ebooks & support indie bookshops uk.bookshop.org/ebooks

Gosh. Such beautiful writing. A lightness of touch from “the abyss.” I wasn’t sure I wanted to read this but really glad I did. Thanks to #indiethinking for the @4thestatebooks.bsky.social proof.

Loved this. Thanks @picadorbooks.bsky.social for the proof. I can’t stop thinking about it, though I’d not have guess that as I read it, and I think that’s what makes it so great. Fascinating on identity and belonging.

There’s something a little old-fashioned, it seems about his writing, but 15 pages in and I am completely convinced of the people, place, feelings and subtle charms. Looking forward to reading the rest.
