Rinsed it. Absolutely brilliant. Dark, poetic, elegaic and desperately sad. An incisive exploration of the moral and ethical conundra posed by the fact we're all ultimately the unreliable narrators of our own lives, and a wet dream for hauntologists too. Top marks 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

For the uninitiated, Rose's first novel This Is Yesterday got lost cos it came out as Covid hit. It's a magnificent elegy for lost times, shot thru with pure poetic poison. She's a fucking great artist too. Read TIY immediately and get on board with this one πŸ’₯

The chapter on Neneh Cherry, which goes into mad detail about Smash Hits, in Jude's amazing book The Sound Of Being Human (White Rabbit Books) is a must-read.

This is absolutely brilliant news. Check out Jimbo's ace collection of shorts The Byegones, also out with Tangerine Press. Fresh as fuck, proper distinctive voice.

Rare treat of a whole day spent in the company of my dark soul sister Terri White. Hours of mooching, loitering, and Proper Chat with Someone Who Actually Fucking Gets It. Invigorating stuff, and far better than the day at work I would have been having otherwise. Lush πŸ™πŸ–€

Was a pleasure working on this one, it's going to be brilliant. Great Mix of biography and social/political history; also a great insight into 80 years of the radical labour movement in the UK through the eyes of a remarkable man who was at the centre of it all.
