My friend sent me this snap of my book on sale in Hong Kong. Stitched Up: Stories of Life and Death from a Prison Doctor has been translated into Mandarin. These are the moments that make all the hard work of writing a book worthwhile.

Birding by Rose Ruane (@regretteruane.bsky.social) arrived today. I’m writing about it now having read it in a single sitting. It’s a marvel. From the opening poetic evocation of a faded out-of-season seaside town to the poignant, uncertain ending, every page contains writing of the highest quality.

Have scraped into this list for April next year along with some brilliant authors and interesting political writing.
Fiction to look out for in 2025
An epic family saga, new novels from Natasha Brown and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, plus a David Szalay masterpiece… the coming year looks good

If you're looking for a new recipe, perhaps Ursula's Crab Nebula—which appears in the new UK book Sylvia Plath's Tomato Soup Cake—might be just the thing?

I can’t believe it’s been a year since I did stand up comedy with Adam Kay. Thirty minutes in front of 350 people. I was terrified but I ended up having a great time, not sure if the audience did.
