Stumbled upon this extract of My Mind To Me A Kingdom Is, by Paul Stanbridge, published by Galley Beggar Press. His follow-up to Forbidden Line. And all I can say is, I am definitely ordering a copy. Chapter 1. SEA/ROCK/CAVE galleybeggar.co.uk/extract-my-min…

Wonderful to be back in Blackwells Oxford - and lovelier still to see such love for Malarkoi and After Sappho. Thank you Blackwell Shelley!

"The inauguration of the Library for Actresses was an intimate and auspicious occasion. Eleonora Duse wrote the invitations in her own hand. She had taken an ordinary house in Rome and made of it a sanctuary where any actress might find refuge." - 'After Sappho' by Wynn Schwartz

Fab meeting of our open book group on After Sappho (Galley Beggar Press), forward to Jean Rhys and Claire Keegan and in January Ishiguru and in Feb (read in Czech or English!) Karel Čapek. In March we will read a happy book. They do exist, we believe... suggestions welcome!

The Tirukkural is a book after my own heart, and it has been a rare privilege and adventure to translate its love poetry 💝 forthcoming from Galley Beggar Press "The Book of Desire"

👀Boris Johnson and Simon Case “suppressed” details of Liz Truss’s phone hack with allies fearing it could derail her Tory leadership campaign.

Delighted to get Locus through the door and read this beautiful review of Malarkoi again. “An unmitigated pleasure”. Yes!

Here’s what I read in October 2022. I didn’t expect to finish Pinckney’s mesmerizing memoir of youth, Hardwick, & NYC in 2 days, but being felled by a cold brings benefits. Paul Stanbridge’s My Mind to Me a Kingdom Is would suit any Sebald fan—which, to be clear, is praise.

Influx have done wonderful things. They've put out stunning books. They've launched and relaunched some very fine writers. They've helped change publishing in the UK for the better. They've earned a break - but I'll miss them... even as their legacy lives on...

"After Sappho is a reminder of how precarious women’s personhood has been, and remains... it is important to revisit this history and to remember that such battles can be long... but they are also transformative and not necessarily lonely." ❤️frontline.thehindu.com/books/book-rev…
