Hello! I'm CC. I write about nature, technology, desire, watery humanities, climate dread, sexy robots, and other things. My book 'The Unreliable Nature Writer' came out with @scratchbooks.bsky.social this summer. Below are links to some of the pieces within...
My ride or die wrote this story about a slightly mad lad going on an unorthodox quest for basketball glory and redemption in Argentina. It's in @irishexaminer.bsky.social which is pretty rad. You'll laugh, you'll cry, it'll change your life. Proud of the one and only 🖤 @gary-grace.bsky.social

I'm being very social media minimal at the moment (last 6 months of PhD etc) but here is a podcast I did with The Library of Lazy Thinking, released this week!
I spoke to Glenn Fisher about one of my all-time top faves 'The Doll's Alphabet' by Camilla Grudova.

I had a very nice time last week in Dublin @hodgesfiggis.bsky.social ! Big thanks to everyone who came to listen to me bang on about dead birds and the short story from, and big big thanks to Declan and all at HF (and Tom, despite the fact that he never tags me in anything!)
Well that was great fun! Thank you @hodgesfiggis.bsky.social and @declanmeade.bsky.social and everyone in Dublin who made it such a great evening!

Art should be funded like science. To properly fund art, you fund failure. Funding failure will give you occasional excellence. Creating any art with the aim of it being popular enough to make money, will give you consistent mediocrity. Arists need funding to play and fail because that's the process
Let me tell you about the weird business that delivers art into our lives, and the impact it has on the long-term careers of artists. This is a thread prompted by yet another article on authors' incomes, and the inevitable reactions from the 'people-would-pay-if-it-was-worth-it-to-them' brigade. 1/

If anyone is in any doubt about joining the academy, this is one of the key perks and makes everything else worthwhile.
A student somehow accidentally emailed the entire NYU faculty and the reply-all carnage is like a freeway pile-up

Christmas has come early. Feeling euphoria having signed on to be represented by Steve Evans at Eve White Literary Agency.
On the mobile view, Claire is right above me. Beach Goth Dark Angel that I could not have gotten my manuscript in the shape it's in.
