New US paperback cover for A Thread of Violence! Published by Doubleday on September 17th

brilliant book

i dont even smoke but banning smoking outside seems nuts to me! do sweets or tiktok or 11 year olds watching hard core porn first imo

actually q refreshing to read negative reviews of books by young women which quote from the text to back up the points made and don't make up scenes etc

In A Thread of Violence, I wrote about my first encounter with Malcolm Macarthur, and how it involved an issue of the New York Review of Books . So it’s kind of amazing, and amazingly meta, to read Colm Toibin writing about that moment in the NYRB

wrote about convenience, and my beloved local jeweller theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Reading this was an enjoyable use of my time

Jeremy Corbyn just isn't a misogynist lol, come on now. Leave the man alone

Thinking about this Rachel Connolly column which touches on this, particularly the idea that so much of “high living standards” is predicated on making people risk their lives and health to do fairly mundane things theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

I’m sorry but I had to stop reading here, because whenever I see this “stupid person’s idea of a smart X” formulation it makes me roll my eyes so hard I tear an ocular muscle and I can’t read any more
