When we were putting this book together around eight years ago, it felt as if there were dark days ahead. This feels like those dark days. I’m sickened by the sight of the far right marching through London. What has gone so wrong in your lives that you have to take your hatred to town? #OthersBook

50 years ago today, Keith Jarrett played one of the most extraordinary concerts in #jazz history. He arrived at the Köln Opera House in the middle of a rainstorm, hungry, sleepless and in pain, to find a dodgy stand-in piano. He made it work, and the rest is music history. #keithjarrett #kölnconcert

‘No woman can make herself chic if she is not chic herself.’ Born 130 years ago today, Cristóbal #Balenciaga was #fashion #design’s great sculptor. He worked with stiffer fabrics than those favoured by his French counterparts, allowing him to chase shapely simplicity in everything he did.

Always a treat to have something new from Yuri Herrera - in another luminous translation by Lisa Dillman. This is the translator's art at its rare best. @andotherstories.bsky.social

‘There are years that ask questions and years that answer.’ Born #otd in 1891, Zora Neale Hurston was a leading figure in the extraordinary creativity of the Harlem Renaissance. She is also one of the funniest, linguistically inventive & riotously human writers you will ever read. #ZoraNealeHurston
