Rhys Hughes' plays are being performed at the Volcano Theatre in Swansea today!

Looks like not giving Rushdie the Nobel is a Scandinavian tradition.

Not only was she not offended by this, Jane Goodall wrote a foreword to Gary Larson's book following this cartoon.
A healthy sense of humour is a sign of great intelligence. That, empathy, and kindness to animals. The planet needs Jane Goodalls now more than ever.

YouTube video by tf Forum Fantástico 2014 dia 2 - Rhys Hughes

An old video of Rhys speaking at a literary convention in Portugal many moons ago. The video is grainy and the audio isn't very sharp. But it's good enough for me to see how handsome and poised and erudite my then yet-to-be husband was.

Is it not?

What a delightful cover. So old world. I will look for a copy when I go to India next.

Really liked it, Rachel :)

Rhys Hughes' two new books look like the works of art they are :)

Dig out the thing you wrote for the David Foster Wallace Society.

I'm surprised that Wiktionary quotes from Rhys' book 'Nowhere Near Milkwood' to demonstrate the usage of toasted cheese. I always thought he'd be quoted on aardvarks.

The title of my forthcoming Kannada novel 'Hettavara Neralu' roughly translates as 'In the Shadow of the Birth-givers'. It is entirely fiction but my mum has been suffering from a guilty conscience for reasons best known to herself. And this has been her attitude ever since I announced it 😃

An Indian writer dare not think of being anything other than a 'boohoo-gobbledygook' peddler.

I’m a writer from the Balkans. Why do people assume I only know about war and tragedy? | Ana Schnabl Readers lose out when English-speaking gatekeepers decide what books are sold and whose stories get told, says Slovenian novelist Ana Schnabl

And an Asian or African writer has to dish out 'fashionable' oppression stories with a dash of scatological references to cater to the West's trauma-porn appetite, which it then condescends to champion with prizes and awards.

Gosh! This...

The full spread. #hettavaraneralu #kannada #novel

Thank you :) I'm very grateful to the designer. This is my third book, second novel, and first work in Kannada.

Cover reveal of my Kannada novel 'Hettavara Neralu'! Grateful to Kiran Madalu who visualised my 420-page work of magic realist fiction with quirky subplots, strange dreamscapes, an undercurrent of humour where language is as much the message as the medium into this stunning image!

Horrible! I might leave too then.

Exactly eight years ago my novel CLOUD FARMING IN WALES was published. it's a philosophical comedy about life in Wales and it's also a tribute to the writer Richard Brautigan, who taught me some new things about metafictional techniques.

You quitting bluesky? Why?

Anti-ageing treatments actually work. They k*ll you young so you never age.
