We’re utterly delighted to introduce the long-awaited new translation (by Diego Jourdan Pereira) of groundbreaking Uruguayan author Horacio Quiroga’s first short-story collection, Tales of Love, Madness and Death, first published in 1917.

More of my daily folk tale reading. Good to see that it’s not just European fairy tales that can have rambling and fragmented plots. Some gems though and great illustrations. This beautiful edition by my friends at @renardpress.com was a birthday present

A picture of Anna Vaught’s latest book called β€œAll The Days I Did Not Live”. Its cover is beautiful. Leaves and branches in shades of green with pale yellow pears hanging on a black background. The title and author name is in a box of pale green top right

On my book, Saltburn, approaching its 1st birthday. On success. And its lack. On 19th February my book, Saltburn, is one year old.

On my book’s forthcoming 1st birthday, @renardpress.com, on looking busy, on selling millions, on Love it or List it, on writing.

A diary of sorts. Substack. Link below.
