Belatedly posting this since apparently a lot of people are using Bluesky these days. I remain very excited to be joining the team: www.propublica.org/atpropublica...

Thrilled to be in such excellent company as a finalist for the California Book Award!

I reviewed @alexcuadros.bsky.social's anti-Rousseau portrait of how one indigenous group entered the illegal diamond trade (for better or worse).

I love that The Guardian found a Brazilian-Brit to narrate this excerpt of my book www.theguardian.com/news/audio/2...

I got the privilege of writing some text to accompany these beautiful photos by Musuk Nolte www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

My publisher gave me some audiobook codes to give away so if you want to hear me narrate my new book, for free, just reply here. I gather the codes only work on Google Play so here's the link which also has a sample: play.google.com/store/audiob...

The rampant deforestation of the Amazon has the potential to be one of the most devastating policy failures in human history. In his new book, alexcuadros.bsky.social enriches our understanding of why it’s so hard to arrest the damage. My review for @newrepublic.com t.co/GTzUCHAXXE

Excellent review of a brilliant new book by @alexcuadros.bsky.social on the improbable story of Brazil's Cinta Larga people on whose lands some of the world's richest deposits of diamonds were discovered in the mid-20th century. Gripping read.

I'm conflicted because bluesky does seem closer to the old twitter experience but on the other hand the grinding death of X has freed up a lot of time and mental space

Half way through @alexcuadros.bsky.social's forthcoming When We Sold God’s Eye. It is very good indeed, a picture of Brazil really, all the crime and beauty, but through indigenous eyes. A taster here: www.theguardian.com/news/2024/no...

An excerpt of my new book, out next week -- preorder here: www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/alex-...
