Having my mind blown by this remarkable book this morning. 'What if you wrote as though sentences can't be summarized?' Anyone else read 'Several short sentences about writing ' by Verlyn Klinkenborg?

Oh my god, I love this book! Definite candidate for one of my books of the year! What Rita Bullwinkel does with point of view, with tense (I love a bit of future tense!), with the sheer robustness of those sentences... I am in awe. THANK YOU Marigold Atkey and DauntBooksPublishing 🥊😍

“Kiss-Deáki’s style is astonishing – hypnotic, poetic, persistent, wild, blazing, marvellous. [She] reimagines the possibilities for historical fiction and Mary & the Rabbit Dream is utterly original and utterly brilliant.'
What words from Victoria MacKenzie; we're over the moon!

How to lose friends and followers:
1) Don't like either.
2) Never read one.
I know, right, I live under a frigging rock.

Could I hate Labour more? Yes, I could hate them as much as I hate the Tories. Although what is there to choose between them these days? Sigh.
