These moments are so beautiful and rare. Safe travels to you…

Oh, man. One of the best…

Thank you, Drew, for engaging with Greyhound and for writing so beautifully about it.

With a beautiful introduction by Amanda Fortini who rightly places this book in what she calls the ‘female picaresque’. Published in the UK by Dead Ink Books and in the US by the New York Review of Books @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social

I grew up in Canada. My radio memories are full of great songs and bands played at top volume… (maybe rose-tinted memories) and also lying on friends’ floors listening to vinyl for hours… I feel this brilliant stuff was really accessible.

But there would be lots of airplay. You would be able to hear this incredible stuff with your friends (and could go to each others' houses to listen). And the artists would be paid for it. Seems incredible now.

This puts so much into perspective.

Still reading Greyhound by Joanna Pocock. I’m on page 239. Reading slowly…I don’t want to get to the end of the book. I love Greyhound. In 1981, at the age of 17, I rode on a Greyhound bus from Detroit to Los Angeles. It was an experience of a lifetime.

I’ll take the first option. Nevertheless, a beautiful shot.

Thank you!

See below. I don't think you can listen in the US though?

I thought of you this morning, Andy. The wonderful Sally Mann was on BBC’s ‘Desert Island Discs’. Not sure if you can get it over there? She is is just so brilliant.
