I'm thrilled to share that my debut novel, Lessons in Attention, will be out with @tinhouse.bsky.social in 2026! A testament to faith, friendship, and how people change us, it follows a series of friends as they attempt to reach one another across Oxford, Oslo, Brazil. Can't wait to share it 🤗

Officially arrived at Stanford, aka home for the foreseeable future! This England transplant is yet to be sick of the sun… does one ever tire of it? 🌞

Finally returned to Oxford to find that spring has sprung! Hoping that post-6pm sunsets and fresh swathes of crocuses are signs of good things to come 🌼

In Macau this weekend learning more about the revitalisation of Macanese patuá, which has fewer than 1000 speakers left worldwide— and I am, as ever, in admiration of the way in which the city makes its multilingualism known! 🇲🇴

For #Lent this year I’ll be spending 40 days reading Dostoevsky’s ‘The Brothers Karamazov’—trying to build the habit of daily reading & tackling a book I’ve been meaning to read for a long time!

(This morning’s reading location: Caffe Trieste in San Francisco…)
