This is a wonderful book. Psychedelic and alien yet recognisable, moving, precise. Many congratulations @peirenepress

Biased, I know but with what's happening around the globe, this is very prescient and a brilliant read.

Fun and Games by John Patrick McHugh is essentially unputdownable in my view. So moving, so believable, so unsparing of yet merciful towards its characters. Funny and heartbreaking (what more can you ask for?).

“…the magic of neighbouring winds when they are inter-weaved like ribbons at a wedding.”

It was such a privilege to be able to read this book. It is funny and angry and pacy and timely. Nicola Barker really and truly has one of the biggest imaginations in the business.

Also shows how the @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social imprimatur has become a distinctive and noble tattoo

Aidan Cottrell Boyce @aidancb.bsky.social · Nov 29

I was amazed by this book. Completely convincing world building, propulsive plot but most importantly so profoundly personalist, political, serious-minded. It’s a soaring feat of imagination tethered firmly to the present. Congratulations @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social and @jomcmillan.bsky.social

So bold and yet so elegant
