Stunning (& smart!) book mail from the incredible @knifeforkbook. Jim Johnstone’s new work (An Eye for an Eye), which you need a wee key to unlock (google Theseus’s boat), Michael Prior, and the always thoughtful & beautiful words of Sadiqa de Meijer.

Life is hard and sometimes it’s unbearable except for a handful of good friends and fleeting moments. And there is KD Lang.
