Thanks to Ali Smith. For writing this book, and also for giving me the chance to state a few facts in The Guardian. Facts that have, for the most part, gone shamefully unsaid over the past few years. Do consider sharing. www.theguardian.com/books/2026/j...
Glyph by Ali Smith review – bearing witness to the war in Gaza
This second novel in a sharp duology offers a powerful interrogation of language in the age of mechanical mass destruction

Spoke to the Guardian about my picks for the Booker ( Szalay, McBride, @katiekitamura.bsky.social ) - I also gave the staggering insight that such lists are … wait for it … “mysterious”
"it is hard to shake the feeling that we are in desperate, desperate need of a new story altogether." @keirangoddard.bsky.social reviewing much more than Irvine Welsh here - and posing a very big question indeed. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/j...

Flesh by David Szalay review – brilliantly spare portrait of a man
From youthful curiosity to midlife resignation, the protagonist is buffeted by forces beyond his control in this thrilling exploration of what it means to be alive

When I read about AI, I wonder about this idea of mimicry If I record my voice, and play it back, that is one thing If I speak in a church, and hear it echo back to me, that is another The latter strikes me as meaningfully different and meaningfully more “alive” As something other than mimicry.
Lots to love about Sabrina Carpenter But above all else She has made the entire world say “espresso” correctly Removing the ability of tedious, smug pedants to correct people who say “expresso” For that alone, she’s a modern great.
Sad to report a tragic accident at the Rugby Union viewing party …
