I love Luke's writing ... can't wait to read this

Hey, look who's in town ... why none other than the acclaimed US novelist Edward Matthews, author of the brilliant (and prescient) Border Memories - last few copies available from watermarkpress.co.uk But who is that old man?

A meeting of Watermark literary titans. But, quick quiz, can you tell which is the American and which is the Brit? There might be a clue in the teeth...

#amreading Morning and Evening by Jon Fosse. The first book I've read by the Nobel laureate: Roald Dahl's Tales of the Unexpected, rewritten by Samuel Beckett with a strong Norwegian accent. Like pickled herring, an acquired taste, but unlike pickled herring, I'd like some more

Love these peeps🥰

"I became immersed in the enchanting illogicality of proceedings ... At Dawn, Two Nightingales works its magic on both readers and characters ... a fun, eccentric and profane read" - Hannah's Bookshelf. You can hear the whole review at mixcloud.com/Hannahs_Booksh…

Many thanks to the wonderful Carolyn Lewis for coming and sharing some tricks of the short story trade with our students yesterday. Her revised textbook is available now from all wise booksellers Carolyn Lewis

#amreading The Ice Palace by Tarjei Vesaas (Penguin). I've never read anything like this stunning Norwegian novella: it's as clear and lucid as a fairy tale or fable, yet at the same time, it's endlessly enigmatic and strange. I can't recommend it highly enough.

"An entertaining story, pitched intriguingly ... there is much to be enjoyed in it by readers who take their speculative fiction with a historical twist" - Val Nolan on 'At Dawn, Two Nightingales' in Interzone 302

#amreading Days in the Caucasus by Banine (Pushkin). Beautifully written, bittersweet and stingingly funny memoir of early 20thC Azerbaijan, revolution, awful men, awful moustaches, communism, love. The flippant tone masks real feeling - recommended.

Carolyn is a brilliant writer and teacher - come along and support

Brilliant!
