Fair play to Hollywood though, going so far outside their comfort zone.
Just out of interest, is there a film which is true to the book to the extent that Heathcliff hangs a dog, throws a knife at Isabella, and disinters a corpse? #heathcliff# wutheringheights
Yup. They almost certainly exist already!

ββHeathcliff is not a character, but a movement; not a subject, but a line of flight.β

Very much enjoyed doing this!

Thanks to @galleybeggars.bsky.social for their care and help at every step of the way! Canβt wait until July..
I love these joyous GBP newsletters, especially all the overspilling PS's.
Excited to read the new @markabowles.bsky.social, didn't realise it due so soon!
Been following these from the off but never been to one before. What a tremendous evening that was. Great writing/readings + such a supportive vibe. Deffo going back for more. Big up Kik for organising + everyone who shared their work, terrific stuff ππ€
βCompensationβ - like when you suffer injury or accident.
βCanβt eat in restaurants, people spit on youβ. Maybe stop humiliating and murdering them?
BBC useless as ever. There are always βconflicting accountsβ. Of almost anything. In this case, one account is demonstrably false.
Twit tweet tawooo. Early bird tickets open for Madrid salon in September! π¦ οΏΌππ¦€π¦πͺΆ @saloneurope.bsky.social

Great introduction to the European Writers Salon, and whatβs happening in September..
