I know precisely the moment in Nathan Knapp’s Daybook that I became absolutely fascinated, & it was on p 23 when a woman’s (not the character’s new wife’s) “majestic” breasts are described. I know I know..but it really was a “what on earth is going on here?!” moment, & is vital to what follows. 5*!

Nate Knapp’s DAYBOOK (Splice, 2024) is outstanding — one of the strangest, most exciting & poignant books I have read in some time

“If you go through things, the warp and weft of time, there comes a point where you’ll feel it, you’ll see that you’re writing your own sentences”: An interview with Greg Gerke — Tobias Ryan In his debut novel, In the Suavity of the Rock, author and essayist Greg Gerke reflects on memory, and the impulse to seek — and impose — narratives as a way of making the inchoate of life cohere. …

Happy to be up and running on Bluesky! Can we just leave behind the woes of the old platform and get back to what we were doing? For us, that's literature outside the mainstream: publishing the best we can find and shouting about it when it's coming from elsewhere.
