Really fascinating list, Sam! Thank you. Did you happen to hear our conversation with Carrère in the bookshop last November? He was on superb form. podcasts.apple.com/fr/podcast/t...

We had a wonderful time with @ianleslie.bsky.social a few weeks ago, when he came to discuss his superb #Beatles book John & Paul: A Love Story in Songs. And now you can have just as wonderful a time listening to him on our podcast. pod.fo/e/364167 @faberbooks.bsky.social

Classic combo…

Are we being subskeeted (?) by the Telegraph's picture editor?

A lovely essay. Saw Paul in Paris about a year ago and all of this rings true. Also highly recommend @ianleslie.bsky.social’s John & Paul, which he’ll be discussing at the bookshop this week…

Miriam is so brilliant, and this conversation shows why…

We are late to this piece by @j-amesmarriott.bsky.social. It is brilliant, and sobering. We have a fight on our hands, booksellers… jmarriott.substack.com/p/the-dawn-o...

Top notch bit of editing on this video so that it says Flesh is about “a Hungarian young man who moves to London after serving Roddy Doyle…” 🤣 m.youtube.com/watch?v=9b_-...

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...

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...
