Today, we're celebrating the publication of Yelena Moskovich's NADEZHDA IN THE DARK, a novel-in-verse brought to us in the US by Dzanc Books. A story of a relationship, this book offers a review of recent history with Russia's war against Ukraine at the center.

in case someone recalls..
an American kids scifi book maybe from the 40s or 50s, about a kid (& his friend?) who walked from N. America to Europe across the Atlantic seabed, wearing pressurized suits
don't recall the name, can't find reference to it
it is possible I dreamt it but I don't think so
Hi Josh, I’d provide a good home if you still have one available.

З Днем Незалежності 🇺🇦 I cooked Ukrainian borshch as a small way to honor the occasion
Thanks, I’m relieved to hear it and look forward to more fantastic titles this year!
Does anyone know if @sublunary.bsky.social is still operating? I’ve not received any subscription mailings this year. I’ve sent a support email but it’s gone unanswered and they don’t seem active here or on X recently. I hope all is ok with them, one of my favorite small publishers.
I'm saddened by the loss of Tim Mohr. Among Tim's many accomplishments were his translations of work by Alina Bronsky and Wolfgang Herrndorf, collaborations with Duff McKagan and Paul Stanley, and his own definitive history of East German punk, Burning Down the Haus.
Live music is the best. Don’t be lazy, just get out, go to the show! (Saturday night in Portland, Maine)
Uilleam Blacker and I are delighted to launch The Ukraine Shelf, a podcast where we speak with leading authors, intellectuals, scholars, and journalists about Ukraine and its place in the world. 📚Time to make space for a new bookshelf—you’ll need it! 🎧 Link below.
Love this album and just look at the back cover photo – Mr. Blakey is not putting up with any bullshit today! #jazz
@geoliminal.bsky.social has this story about a lost film, rediscovered and shown to an eager audience of cinephiles, and halfway through, the story becomes a detective noir with a twist.
IDK, I think about that story a lot.
You should buy his book.

Perfect company on this snowy Sunday: Sibelius and @drdavidvernon.bsky.social’s SUN FOREST LAKE, an erudite exploration of the Finnish composer’s music. Difficult to put down, yet every page is a springboard to discover more works of art that share kinship with the music. Highly recommended!
The life of the word resides in the fact that it tenses and strains to produce a thousand associations, like the quartered body of the snake of legend, whose separate pieces sought each other in the dark.

A. S. Byatt talk earlier today with @herbrandall.bsky.social @yelenafurman.bsky.social @petipaw.bsky.social @ttbrader.bsky.social made me pull this one from the shelves. I’m going to reread the quartet. ❤️
Thanks to everyone for your suggestions. “The Children's Book” was mentioned several times, so I’ll try that next, as well as “The Game”, before continuing on to the Frederica Quartet.
I hope you enjoy them, Lisa!
A question for my fellow literary-minded friends here: I’ve recently read A.S. Byatt’s “The Matisse Stories” and enjoyed them thoroughly. It’s the first Byatt I’ve read since Possession long ago when it was newly published. What work of hers would you recommend I read next?
Someone is very happy for the morning’s fresh snow
Thanks! I wish I could send you a plate! ☺️
I finally tried the famous Tom Nichols lamb recipe. Can confirm: just follow this recipe from his grandmother, ignore the temptation to adjust. I cooked to an internal temperature of 135 F and let rest for 20 minutes for rare / medium rare perfection.
