A brilliant book! Congrats Victoria Gosling! Can't wait to see it in the world.

Some beautiful reviews arriving for Alone Reaktion Books Ben Fergusson “…this engaging extended essay…fuses memoir with intellectual flair, quoting from philosophers and psychoanalysts as [Schreiber] considers the lot of a larger than ever group of people.”Thanks to Hephzibah Anderson

When I first read Daniel Schreiber’s superb “Alone” I kept thinking about how many people I would like to recommend it to. So it was a joy and an honour when I was asked to translate it. A fascinating dissection of what it means to live alone.

Come and join us at Gay's The Word on 31 August!

"Starting a novel is opening a door on a misty landscape; you can still see very little but you can smell the earth and feel the wind blowing." Iris Murdoch.

After we worked out where the camera lens was on my phone, Daniel Schreiber and I had the loveliest chat about his incredible book “Alone” at Gay's The Word. Thanks Uli for the brilliant organisation and warm welcome. And the audience for their enthusiasm and thoughtful questions.

Great-looking workshop with the wonderful @LucyJonesTweets!

Submitted! Wish her well on her way 👋 May the viva be swift and gentle 🤞
