Such an atmospheric novel: Fellini, Pasolini, the politics and aesthetics of film-making, Venice, artifice, eroticism, Rome’s Cinecittà studios, love, the rise of fascism - and Pasolini’s murder. Great work by Olivia Laing.

Happy birthday Helen Garner. Am reading How to End A Story: Collected Diaries, 1978-1998, which just won the Baillie Gifford Prize, and it’s like a map for writing

UBUD Writers festival is like nothing else. Extraordinary setting, venues, and programming. Lots of political events and widespread support for Palestine too. Met so many wonderful writers (oh the translation chats…). Onwards to London for the Nero Book Awards judges meeting.

Casual walk on hotel grounds today interrupted by 8/9 ft snake. Possibly one of these - it was super fast so I didn’t see the head properly - but a hotel employee told me tonight that it might have been a cobra. Delighted that the bathroom has ceramic bricks with large open gaps to outside. 😱

Looking forward to both of these:
In the Back of My Throat, an anthology of queer Indonesian writers, and Finding Sita in the Indies by Jakarta-based writer and theatre-maker, Angelina Enny (we were on a panel together earlier at UBUD Writer's Festival and her reading was incredible).

Yesterday’s opening of UBUD Writer’s festival at the Royal Palace, with traditional Balinese dancers. Trying to figure out how old the tree with the treehouse is… (people included for scale).

One of my favourite artists. Her painting The White Tower is my phone wallpaper! If you’re interested in Irish female Cubists, there was an excellent group show in IMMA a few years ago featuring Swanzy alongside Evie Hone, Mainie Jellett, Norah McGuinness and iMay Guinness. imma.ie/whats-on/ana...

Go to to speak to these brilliant literature and language students at Far Eastern University in Manila. They asked such thoughtful questions and were fascinated by Irish Folklore. Several of them are including Filipino myths and folklore in their own writing.

A pleasure to read at Irish embassy in Manila. Thank you Emma, Naomi and the team for a wonderful event. An added privilege to spend time talking to the Palestinian ambassador here, Mounir Anastas, who spoke of his gratitude to the Irish people for their support of Palestine . 🇮🇪🇮🇩🇵🇸

People are marching in the US in the name of democracy, and there are thriving autocratic regimes all over the world. But, here, we have people gleefully declaring (and holding press conferences) their intention to spoil their vote in this week’s Irish Presidential election.
