My copy has just arrived!! Cannot wait to dive in! So exciting! Bravo!!!!

Got teary-eyed when I finally held it. Which is synonymous with terror-ised. Front, back, and last page of first story. 🦚🤓

This is the correct headgear.

A black and white proof for a new comic sits on a bar top with a beer, a martini, and a pair of round reading glasses.

Having a celebratory cocktail. All the inks for IN THE CITY, Part 5 are complete. The final issue is 80 pages in length. Hoping to have this ready and out by DeCAF in May, so coloring all those pages starts on Monday. Yep, get right back up on that horse. There are comics to be made.

THE DESERTERS by Mathias Énard, translated by Charlotte Mandell. Published by New Directions.

Starting this today.

All set up for the Mayfair Mini Book Fair, in the delightful surroundings of Mayfair Library

If you’re in the area, visiting your rich Aunt Dahlia or picking up a few bits and bobs at Tiffany’s or Gucci, come and say hello!

Loving being back in #Strasbourg where I lived for a year as a student on the fifth floor of this building, 27 rue du Dôme, overlooking the cathedral

“It’s a very odd set-up.” #carolcarnac #thedoubleturn Timing is often all when it comes to reading, I find, and today’s book is a wonderful example of that. It arrived on the day I had finished reading the epic volume, “The Waste Land: A B…

On the blog today, another brilliant #CarolCarnac reissue from @blpublishing.bsky.social -such a clever and twisty one! @martinedwardsbooks.bsky.social kaggsysbookishramblings.wordpress.com/2026/03/06/i...

Mathias Énard's The Deserters: in the same literary territory as Compass and Zone. Intergenerational characters involved in military and ideological conflict in Europe, shadows of the Middle East, translated into beautiful English prose by @avecsesdoigts.bsky.social ts.bsky.social Énard at his best.

Highly recommemded

Holding the illustrated cover (a woman smoking outside the Lions Lair bar) of the Notes from the Underground, Vol 2: Denver CD

Spotted in my various wanderings around Denver (though this was actually in Englewood): Notes from the Underground, Vol 2: Denver. My artwork is now emblazoned on new CDs.

#Boulez preface to published version of 'Antiphonie' (Third Piano Sonata): 'The devil for me is hidden in a labyrinth'

There's a spot outside my house a widening in the road where cars must stop before moving on but when empty of traffic early morning it could reach anywhere beyond this moment of cessation.

An amazing work, that's on The List. Was specifically mentioned in Ghost Signs too 🙏✊️

It’s a book about objects though…objects left behind, objects that tell us stories…psychoanalytic objects even

And this object does tell us something about the writing of Leon Craig’s novel THE DECADENCE @sceptrebooks.bsky.social

📰 thankfully, the only headline we’re waking up to this morning on the Rippling Pages is that we’ve got more bonus content with Leon Craig!

It’s a ghostly looking letter knife that brought us our first objects of influence segment of the year.
