I’ve not finished it yet, but this has got about everything I want in a book. It’s about place, childhood (how odd it is), memory, history, family and more. It’s strange, poetic, unpredictable and scholarly. Seriously good writing…

Love this. Independent People is one of the greatest novels I’ve read. I think I’m due another Laxness…

Halfway through Knausgaard’s Wolves of Eternity - so far the Morning Star series has been one of the best, most fascinating weird fiction projects I’ve read. Unbelievably addictive writing.

My 9-year-old has just finished reading a history of Alcatraz and now wants a bio of Shane MacGowan. I am very proud.

I watched The White Ribbon for perhaps the fifth time last night - for something I’m writing - and it remains one of the most perfect and powerful films I’ve ever seen.
