For my 23rd Magnetic North missive in the 23rd edition of Science & Magic I wrote about this Princes Park Fritillary and the importance of being available for astonishment. This one’s for David Keenan @reversediorama.bsky.social and you can read it here: www.violetterecords.com/science-and-...

It made me smile to read this from TS Eliot's introduction to Anabasis by St John Perse. It's the perfect way in to Boyhood @reversediorama.bsky.social

Tomorrow night! The Boyhood tour returns to Glasgow with DJ sets from Tia Cousins and Manifesto of Bliss plus live jams from me and Dölphin. At our spiritual home McChuills. Can’t wait to see everyone! @whiterabbitbks.bsky.social

Just finished the new David Keenan @reversediorama.bsky.social. As expected it’s a great book with multiple layers, timelines and depths to it. What I didn’t expect was that it’s impossible to put down as there’s always more to be revealed. With 246 short chapters, it’s always, “OK, just one more”.

@reversediorama.bsky.social pulling a Hitchcock on us now. Playing the long game.

“Like taking William Blake on a bender.” Incredible review of Boyhood in @irishtimes.com today! “One of those special books that enter the world still unfolding.” @whiterabbitbks.bsky.social www.irishtimes.com/culture/book...

“Keenan’s latest novel confirms his place as one of Scottish literature’s most unfettered imaginations.” Dream review of Boyhood in The Scotsman. @whiterabbitbks.bsky.social “This swaggeringly imaginative, polyphonic novel…” www.scotsman.com/arts-and-cul...
