Never forget that the oppression of intellectuals is the sign of a regime’s weakness, not its strength… www.theguardian.com/books/2025/o...

ICON. 💔

Just saw ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER and now want to read the best articles about it — any recommendations?

A page from perhaps the funniest (and most truthful) book ever written. Bring OUR DUMB CENTURY back into print! 😘

urgently need you guys to know that this French politician below 1) didn't know he'd been appointed as a minister until he saw it on TV 2) reacted by going: "bah pfff voilà"

Letter signed, ‘Please accept. Sincerely, Samuel Beckett.’

Utterly necessary. Yet how mad that it should be so...

Adding in some other LK pieces into the thread. A recent short interview with TYR bsky.app/profile/yale...

"I wanted the form, the sentences, the paragraphs to take the form of spirals, never reaching closure." Neige Sinno on SAD TIGER, which was recently long listed for the National Book Award.

Always a good day when the boys drop a new episode...

Thrilled to announce a dream collaboration dreamed up by me and Adam Biles: @yalereview.bsky.social + @shakespeareandcompany.com .Together, we’ll publish author conversations from the legendary Paris bookshop—beginning with Neige Sinno on her extraordinary Sad Tiger. yalereview.org/article/shak...

We’re thrilled to announce a new partnership with @shakespeareandcompany.com, the legendary Paris bookshop. TYR will publish select transcripts from the shop’s author events. The inaugural installment features Neige Sinno on SAD TIGER—and the paradoxes of story and memory.

We’re so happy to be teaming up with The Yale Review to make some of our best in-store conversations available to read. The first instalment is with the brilliant Neige Sinno whose SAD TIGER is currently shortlisted for the National Book Award.

To celebrate this development, tell us the Fullest Book you’ve ever read? Ulysses, Middlemarch, Moby Dick…

Genuine question by the way. Is there a grammatical precedent underlying these choices?

I know the use of third-person-singular for groups etc passionately divides Brits and Americans… But shouldn’t the subheading therefore begin “Its songs…”, for consistency?

Be existential to each other…

Now do Mason & Dixon…you coward! (Also Chase Infiniti is a delightfully Pynchonian name…) www.theguardian.com/film/2025/se...

Bon voyage, Bob! 🫡

Every track so far released from the new David Byrne album is great, but this one is all the more charming for being inspired by our friend @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social 🤗 www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jTe...

Yes, absolutely right. This is exactly the kind of suffering we should all be worrying about... www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Thanks to @shakespeareandcompany.com for this insightful introduction to Mafalda. She’s been with me ever since I encountered the first 3 albums in Finnish translation in my 70s childhood, and I was absolutely delighted to find the remaining 7 albums in Mexico in the 90s. - Everyone: read Mafalda!
