'In a rhapsodic single sitting I’d devoured Goodman’s poetic, modern fairytale, and peered out the window staring at nothing, thinking about “the man”, his wife and Helen.' Read Anandi Mishra's Substack on Makenna Goodman's HELEN OF NOWHERE and THE SHAME here:

Finished Greyhound by Joanna Pocock. Observations on her repeat journey across the US via Greyhound bus. Insight into the broken lives of many who travel on those buses, marginalised by the centrifugal spin of intensifying societal decay. That said many retain an their openness and likeability.
Mathias Enard will be in conversation with @newwritingmcr.bsky.social's Ian McGuire for Perfecting the Shot, about a teenage sniper and how violence corrodes the soul. @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social @mcrcityoflit.bsky.social @uomsalc.bsky.social
'HOW TO MAKE A WOMAN is a fascinating exploration of a friendship that is constantly in limbo.... What the book accomplishes so beautifully is its portrayal of the ways in which two childhood friends remain in dialogue with each other, even worlds apart and in words unspoken.'
How to Make a Woman — a tale of two friendships, heartbreakingly observed
Perceptive and poignant, Marie Darrieussecq’s novel traces the diverging lives of two female friends from childhood to adulthood

Thank goodness @thebookerprizes.com, back on track. What an intriguing, enigmatic book. @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social just keep churning out bangers. I’m delightfully bamboozled, and will be pondering it for weeks to come. Makenna Goodman clearly has the literary chops. Shortlister…?

#BooksOf2026 Book number 50 Helen Of Nowhere by Makenna Goodman Left me with more questions than answers, and I think that’s entirely the point. Slippery, surreal, and unlike anything else I’ve read recently. Bewildering in the best way. #BookSky
A couple of the Booker Prize books I’ve read (I’ve started M John Harrison and picked it as a summer read in my latest Ask the Host!) I’ve read Makenna’s book a couple of times now. I really like it. It’s ethereal, spectral, dry…there’s a riff on the ego as a container in there which I love
Helen of Nowhere by Makenna Goodman is a novel that is at once intimate and cosmic in scope, and asks: what must we give up in exchange for true happiness? Find out more about this Booker Prize 2026-longlisted book: thebookerprizes.com/the-booker-l... @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social

17-year-old Milde lives in The Outskirts. As a child, she & others were rounded up by soldiers, taken from their homes in The City, and dumped there. After she takes violent action against the oppressive regime, she is caught, tortured & killed - or maybe sent into space. Moving and strange. 💙📚🖋️
