We're devastated to hear the news about Marjane Satrapi. She came to our festival in 2008 and was a pure force of nature. Wise, funny, engaging. This is a big loss. (Photo taken by Justin Westover during the festival)

One hundred years ago today, a baby was born with a HOWL! Happy birthday, Allen Ginsberg (1926–1997). Poet, prophet, and one of the great friends of our bookshop. (Photo by Jack Hazzard from the Shakespeare and Company archives) @citylightsbooks.bsky.social

"Words struggle, in a way, to express some deep essence of our existence. They seem to slide off the surface all too often." David Szalay on the limits of language.

"This was not a book of discovery. It is a book of reportage of the heart." Arundhati Roy on Mother Mary Comes to Me, in our latest @shakespeareandcompany.com interview.

David Szalay reflects on the elusive moral terrain of his Booker Prize–winning novel FLESH—and why, from the very beginning, he set out to express things "obliquely, because to express them directly was, in a way, beyond the power of words."

We’re delighted to share the latest in our collaboration with @yalereview.bsky.social And, if you prefer your interviews channelled directly into your ear holes, the podcast dropped today too. podcasts.apple.com/fr/podcast/t...

Honestly, Davies is one of our most undervalued writers and whoever gets this trilogy is in for a treat.

Blimey, London. Get to this!

It’s a good day when you hear that a new @kandasamy.bsky.social novel is on the way.

Goodbye to our dear friend, Fred Wiseman. What an oeuvre he leaves behind. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/16/m...

👁️See It, Say It, Sorted: Jonathan Coe’s Genre-Bending Novel🔍 On the podcast this week, Adam welcomes @jonathancoe.bsky.social to Paris for a rich, funny, and wide-ranging conversation about his novel The Proof of My Innocence. pod.fo/e/3743b7

Recorded this with Adam in November last year. No memory of what I said, but it was certainly fun on the night! (And he’s a great interviewer)
