Sitting here scrolling Wikipedia to figure out if materiality or textuality is the most appropriate word for what I mean and remembering how I hate it when scholars use words I don’t know 😂🫠

Hello—here’s the official trailer for UNDERLAND, based on my book of the same name, dir. by Rob Petit, with a haunting, glittering score by @hannahpeel.bsky.social, & the ‘Storyteller’ voiced by Sandra Hüller (Anatomy of a Fall, The Zone of Interest). Hope you like it.

In UK/Irish cinemas 27 March.

Intrigued by how, in Ireland and Italy respectively, Edna O’Brien and Elena Ferrante explore the important question of: what happens if your childhood best friend is a total b*tch and you don’t outgrow that friendship

Bring this back because I came across a Tolkien quote to support me: “We all need literature that is above our measure - though we may not have sufficient energy for it all the time.” (Letter 215)
