Guillermo Stitch

LOVED this wild and terrifying novel!

For #WorldBookDay, this lovely message from Professor Luke Kennard (Film & Creative Writing, University of Birmingham) @lukekennard.bsky.social @worldbookdayuk.bsky.social

A cardboard box with open lid and inside, copies of The Coast of Everything, the forthcoming novel by Guillermo Stitch.

Such a photograph, I'm led to believe, is de rigeur.

here's a glimpse of my short story Artemis at the venerable @exactingclam.bsky.social.

One of the reads of my life.

Big news! Not only is Issue 20 out today, but from here on in you can create your own account on the website, where all issues will soon be available in their entirety. Some already are. Plus digital-only subscriptions at a much, much lower price!

A Personal Anthology, by Guillermo Stitch Those familiar with the water colour Dickens’ Dream by Robert William Buss should be able to picture the scene.

Wherein, at the invitation of @jonathangibbs.bsky.social, I write about twelve brilliant stories by twelve brilliant writers, some of whom are alive @egangoonsquad.bsky.social @theactualemma.bsky.social @cdrose.bsky.social.

I enjoyed this!

Compelling

absolute banger

The reviewer continues: " I can easily imagine someone else giving it one star — and I wouldn’t even argue with them — but I’d struggle more to agree with a three-star review. What a joy to read an author unafraid to be a little bit batshit."

I wouldn't argue either.

The latest on Goodreads (about Lake of Urine)

"A bizarre slapstick parody that feels like Foster Wallace, Kennedy Toole, and Pynchon filtered through an Irish creative writing program steeped in Joyce and O'Brien."

Up to my chin in Mann this year. 'Dr Faustus' and now 'Lotte in Weimar'. He doesn't really concern himself with forward propulsion does he? It's as if he thinks all that is up to the reader.

“Overhead, a blossoming black had given way to something bluer, like the hide of a slug, or a crowberry . . .” The line in full (and long enough, probably, to count as an excerpt):

New Substack. On plagiarism and plain theft.

Can’t tell you what this means to me, Jeff. A fellow writer who has decided to read only small press books this year wrote to me and asked me to recommend what I thought were the best in the last ten years. I recommended three. Hashtag was one of them.

This early review is a drop of sunshine in an otherwise dark and stormy Jan/Feb. “Stitch takes the reader deeper into a book than any author has ever done before”. Deepest thanks. #books #booksky

I am always drawn to images of almost nothing. Almost, but not quite.

I'm not even comfortable admitting to the fact that I have a preferred podcast, but if I did . . .

You didn't consider confronting him? Moment of growth for you both, potentially.

If this brilliant installment of Monkeybicycle's "If My Book" column doesn't make you rush out & demand a copy of Kurt Luchs' TRIBUTARIES from your local bookstore (or equiv.) then you have our permission to eat your hat. Sauce optional.
