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...

Well, *one* person will... @kermodemovie.bsky.social committed to reviewing it in the last episode of @kermodeandmayo.bsky.social . Very much in a "so you don't have to" capacity, of course. I'm not sure we'll ever have heard a review quite like it.

👁️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)

It’s a snowy Twelfth Night here in Paris ❄️ What better way to spend it than reading—or rereading—one of the greatest stories ever written: “The Dead” by James Joyce. And if you’d like to dive deeper into the story, have a listen to our special Bloomcast episode on “The Dead": pod.fo/e/210cf6

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…
