That book is Steve Bannon’s inspiration, a fascist novel. Just openly laughing at everyone they hate

I'm not one for gratuitous lunar praise, but this one really slaps

Shoutout to the libraries! I hosted an international academic conference and a small press fair in two different Dublin libraries this year, with honestly joyful results

10/10 moon out there this evening. Fulgent, clear, resolutely unphotographable. Right out of the top drawer

One of the conversations I had several times during last weekend's small press fair was about how few venues there are in Dublin that are amenable to certain types of cultural/community events; how few large-ish venues around that won't charge you 5-10k to take over the space for a day or two

What

Tomorrow! Tickets still available

Love this one! We're still gathering all the footage from the weekend, and we'll send a gallery when it's ready

Thanks for being part of it!

I only really understood how "6/7" functions within the social world of children when our friend, a tennis coach, described the mania that ensued when he attempted to explain the rules of a tiebreak to a primary school class

Son reports with relief that "only 5 kids in my school like 6/7 now". The bubble is bursting

It's ideologically troubling, but I admit a certain eagerness to have a spin in the Human Washer

Amazing, congrats Laëtitia!

Delighted to be shortlisted for the Scott Moncrieff prize, together with Karen Fleetwood for our translation of Gaëlle Bélem’s There’s a Monster Behind the Door, pub. by

Congratulations to all those shortlisted for the @societyofauthors.bsky.social translation prizes!

Shoutout to the incomparable @eireannmor.bsky.social, who journeyed across land and ocean in the middle of her semester to run a small press fair* with me this weekend 💫

*If we may be permitted to say so ourselves? - a bloody good small press fair

Arrival, of course! Great film, and story. Thanks for all these.

Thanks for being part of it, Matthew! I think a few family members went home with your books. Didn't have nearly enough time to chat, but that's part of the deal with organising these things I suppose. Glad you and Sinéad enjoyed it

The vibes have been immaculate. Thanks so much to everyone who joined us today ❤️

so lovely to see everyone this evening—please come tomorrow (Saturday 29th) to the Pearse Street Library from 10-4 and see just a fraction of the amazing book culture available in Ireland and from abroad!

We are ready

Me and @eireannmor.bsky.social have been planning this for the best part of two years, and it's just about to happen! The library looks beautiful, the publishers are setting up, the books are waiting for you. Drop in if you're in Dublin this evening or tomorrow!

Started actually posting on Instagram for the very first time to promote this small press fair and I've never felt older. What is a "reel." Why do pictures have to be that size. I'll kill you

numbers 5 and 6 are, 16 months later, making their way into the worl--and I just ordered more postage than I can reasonably afford so watch your mailboxes for these

and letters too

pixel art on inner pages of mundo cerrado

cover of self harm while working from home

inner pages of Lamentations Fragmentations

inner pages of Pure Agony
