My daughter finished your book in floods of "happy" tears this morning, she has pretty constant battles due to her neurodiversity and i don't think she's ever felt so profoundly seen. Thank-you so so much for writing such a true and hopeful book, it was lovely to meet you too!

D'Angelo was the soundtrack to the year i finally emerged from a decade of mental illness. So, so sad to hear he's gone.
I will never forget him standing onstage in Hammersmith during his incredible live set and singing this like his life depended on it.

Tears open a door to a dark world and drags you by the throat deep inside.
It reminded me of nothing more than Henry James' Turn Of The Screw, a masterclass in ambiguity, where the foggy hinterland between reality and nightmare is the war in your head and the path beneath your feet.
Brilliant.

Noah Hawley is simply the finest writer working in tv today, for me one of the very few who rises above the banal expectations of this over-lit, underbaked, landfill era of 'prestige drama' and reaches back to when the medium was about storytelling for its own sake. Cannot fuckin' wait, basically.

Such an incredible performer of comedy, the kind you end up leaving out the punchline when you're writing gags for them cos you know whatever they do will take you so much further. What an immense privilege to have written her a few of those. RIP Joanna, you will be missed.
