Proofs for MODERATE TO POOR, OCCASSIONALLY GOOD by Eley Williams (Giant Rat of Sumatra) are flying out the door.

I have a last few available for writers, if you'd like one let me know 🦭

Coming in July from 4th Estate Books 💙

New Giant Rat of Sumatra is coming soon and I’ve read and can confirm your suspicions that it’s very very good.

Eley Williams next book, ‘Moderate to Poor, Occasionally Good’, is a collection of vital, vivid and oddly companionable stories, often comic with a strong melancholy undertow, that make wonders from the ordinary in a heady but precise wordplay. Published 18th July.

💋'Proves itself instead to be an exemplary and fresh example of the trans bildungsroman'

A glowing review of BAD HABIT by Alana S. Portero in the @WashingtonPost!

Israel is preparing an invasion of Rafah knowing there is nowhere safe for Palestinians to go. Israel is preparing to unleash further mass slaughter anticipating it will face zero consequences from its key allies in the West. We must act. Emergency Rally tomorrow. 6 PM.

Time has run out to protect children in #Rafah .

The looming ground assault forcing hundreds of thousands to flee and impeding aid efforts in Gaza’s ‘last refuge’.

The UK government must do everything in its power to stop the ground assault happening, thousands of young lives…

The assault on Rafah is another utterly despicable war crime.

As bombs rain down on a trapped and terrified population, we implore our government to find an ounce of humanity and end its complicity in this senseless massacre.

Wake up. This is not war. This is genocide.

The death sentence is sent through the sky on paper. Leave or you will die. We all know that whether they left or not, the occupation will chase and kill them. The death sentence has already been taken decades ago and the only crime is being a Palestinian.
