The New York Times: "the french fry restaurant"
Absolutely extraordinary writing from @amalelmohtar.com, as always. She weaves words into magic and sadness like no other.

Been putting final touches on my dark tech SF/cyberpunk novella this week ready for sending off to my agent tomorrow 🤞 I think it's probably one of my favourite projects, slightly weird, dark and experimental, dystopian but equally about resistance and rebellion - really hope it finds a home! ✨️ 🖤

One of the Great episodes of TV is the Dr. Who episode about Van Gogh. Our minds can tell us we worthless, that no one cares ...and that voice can drown out all the joy and beauty that we create
But..
Never doubt you are magic
And the world needs your magic
