- Percival Everett's (current) publisher saying people hadn't heard of him until James. He was nominated for the Booker for The Trees, which was also a Pulitzer runner up. And it was UK indie publisher @influxpress.bsky.social who did the heavy lifting in the UK in celebrating/publishing him.
- If I had endless time and money I'd set up a monthly (possibly daily/hourly) print journal for literature in translation. Long reviews. Coverage of full bodies of work. Scoop up all the indie presses in my arms. Close readings by translaors to discuss translations. Printed on sustainable vellum.
- Reposted by Rónán HessionToday is my biirthday. I turn 52, a disappointingly "meh" sort of number that really only matters to me. As a result, I'll be playing sings I love today on the @rtegold.bsky.social radio show. Go away. It's just for me... www.rte.ie/radio/gold/d...
