On the blog today, another brilliant #CarolCarnac reissue from @blpublishing.bsky.social -such a clever and twisty one! @martinedwardsbooks.bsky.social kaggsysbookishramblings.wordpress.com/2026/03/06/i...
Mathias Énard's The Deserters: in the same literary territory as Compass and Zone. Intergenerational characters involved in military and ideological conflict in Europe, shadows of the Middle East, translated into beautiful English prose by @avecsesdoigts.bsky.social ts.bsky.social Énard at his best.
Highly recommemded

Holding the illustrated cover (a woman smoking outside the Lions Lair bar) of the Notes from the Underground, Vol 2: Denver CD
Spotted in my various wanderings around Denver (though this was actually in Englewood): Notes from the Underground, Vol 2: Denver. My artwork is now emblazoned on new CDs.
#Boulez preface to published version of 'Antiphonie' (Third Piano Sonata): 'The devil for me is hidden in a labyrinth'
There's a spot outside my house a widening in the road where cars must stop before moving on but when empty of traffic early morning it could reach anywhere beyond this moment of cessation.

An amazing work, that's on The List. Was specifically mentioned in Ghost Signs too 🙏✊️

It’s a book about objects though…objects left behind, objects that tell us stories…psychoanalytic objects even
And this object does tell us something about the writing of Leon Craig’s novel THE DECADENCE @sceptrebooks.bsky.social
📰 thankfully, the only headline we’re waking up to this morning on the Rippling Pages is that we’ve got more bonus content with Leon Craig!
It’s a ghostly looking letter knife that brought us our first objects of influence segment of the year.

It's PUBLICATION DAY for my debut novel, IN THE DESERT!
I've been writing for decades (many) and this is such a hugely big day for me.
Thank you so much to my publisher @cowboyjamboree.bsky.social for believing in this book and to everyone who has helped along the way!

Congratulations to my pal @barbarabyar.bsky.social I hope In the Desert is a great success and gets the many readers it deserves.

Such a photograph, I'm led to believe, is de rigeur.
Giant face mask of the poet Carol Ann Duffy
Giant face mask of the philosopher Slavoj Zizek
Giant face mask of the broadcaster Frank Bough
Giant face mask of the former Tory MP Michael Fabricant
The Celebrity Cutouts website offers a colossal range of giant face masks. All but a handful of the names and faces are completely unknown to me (and, I suspect you). There are some surprises all the same. www.ebay.co.uk/str/celebrit...
A lovely stack of new releases at Fox Lane Books, including quite a few #SIGNED copies. And yes, the fresh-book smell situation 👌🏼
If you’ve been meaning to treat yourself to something new, this might be your sign
