Contemporary Danish fiction is very weird and very wonderful. Solvej Balle, Harald Voetmann, Olga Ravn. My head is spinning.

This is fantastic. "Someone must take the punishment, when punishment is handed down."

Beautifully translated by Martin Aitken.

Dooneen will be published next June, by Fitzcarraldo Editions here, and New Directions there. And this is the New Directions cover, by Paul Sahre, and I love it.

Utterly compelling, deeply alarming. Wim Carton @wimcarton.bsky.social and Andreas Malm's The Long Heat (following Overshoot from last year) sets out the extent to which we are fucked. The planet is overheating. Fossil-fuel capitalism is doing it, and it is not stopping. From @versobooks.bsky.social

Enjoyed this immensely. Such a sensual, subtle book. Beautifully puzzling at times, and the language always up to something. I am embarrassed to say that I fell slightly in love with Xavier. Awful man.
From @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social of course, Peckham's finest.
