The subsequent books, on Nietzsche and Weil, are even better.

He gave you a shout out from the stage, too.

I just read this and it's great.

One for @julianisland.bsky.social?

best, strongest, most interesting, most influential instances of the LITERARY MANIFESTO?

(creative writing student wants to write one; they're reading Puchner and inspired by Wordsworth)

I chair the acquisitions meeting of @reaktionbooks.bsky.social, an independent publisher. We're open to unsolicited book proposals: history, art, music, film, food, animal studies and any great indefinable non-fiction book ideas you might have. Check out the list and get in touch.

I've finally found the time to watch recordings of some @nawewriters.bsky.social conference sessions and they're fabulous. I particularly love Chris Rose on Paratopia which, should we choose to see them, offer : 'a chance to reimagine and reenchant our environments.'🤩 #magical #inspirational #NAWE

28 December 1795 In protest over the suppression of public meetings for the discussion of political grievances, a ‘Thinking Club’ was formed at the Coopers’ Arms Manchester. 300 people joined that first meeting and were silent for an hour.
