Where to start with: John Burnside Seán Hewitt, who introduces a new edition of the Scottish author’s final memoir, guides readers through his landmark works a year on from his death

“His life’s work is like a dark, glittering, ethereal yet earthy river of thought, full of angels, ghosts, nocturnes, animals. These are books as brimming with spirit & light as they are with eroticism & violence”

—Seán Hewitt on John Burnside’s poetry & prose

Séamas O'Reilly: I think anti-racists are right to be on high alert I’m less concerned with why Garron Noone said what he said, than with whether it’s true or not

This week I wrote about vigilance, and how I'm less interested in litigating whether Garron Noone is a racist, than in whether what he said was true or not. It wasn't. And people are right to be alarmed that he said it, and to wonder why he did.
