Final newly arrived treasure is this, a book I hadn’t meant to get but that I stumbled across at Wallingford Bookshop while buying the preceding. It’s Overnight, by Dan Richards @danzep.bsky.social. Emotionally, I’m enthralled by the night, by those awake in the hours while the rest of us sleep.
Thanks Chris Power for this wonderful review of Overnight - now online and in this Sunday’s @theobserveruk.bsky.social print edition observer.co.uk/culture/book...
