I'm surprised and vexed that neither the AP nor the NYT obit mention what I think is Martin Cruz Smith's best suspense novel, along with Gorky Park: ROSE, set in an English coal town in 1872. It was a bestseller, and I recommend it. #RIP

The book is “Rose”. Mr. Smith was a huge fan of George Orwell’s The Road to Wigan Pier.

For years, officials in the Czech Republic had pushed a dam project to protect a river south of Prague, and the critically endangered species living in it. But the project stalled.
In the meantime, the beavers of Prague simply built dams themselves, saving the government some 1.2 million euros.

What an incredibly beautiful book. I finished it, and immediately started it again. @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com any chance the play will make it to Broadway?
It’s great to see the ceasefire in the war against whales has held for 50years.

There is a fuckton of Finding Out going on today.
I know it’s uncouth to say out so but Alabama voters just have to do better. You got rid of Doug Jones for Sen. Football and the whole country unsurprisingly is paying the price.
