The Disappearing Act by Maria Stepanova @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social in UK and New Directions in US (and translated by me) is a book recommendation for 2026 @financialtimes.com

Hey Helen, you look great in blue. Congratulations to Makenna Goodman and her UK edition of HELEN OF NOWHERE, coming early next year from the lovely @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social 👉For those readers across the pond, you're in for a treat. Also, a great gift for "Helen completists".💙

Calls to strip pro-democracy activist Alaa Abd el-Fattah of his British citizenship pile torment on top of torture. New piece by me on a dangerous and manufactured storm: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I enjoyed watching Adam Mars-Jones on University Challenge last night, what an utterly charming man! So it seemed high time I read his novel BOX HILL @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social. So far it's as charming as him... (and very rude for reading on the train 😉)

one of the best books I read in 2025 – fun to see Pocock's colour photographs here

I will never regret being part of the movement to free Alaa Abd el-Fattah, or writing the foreword to his extraordinary book, You Have Not Yet Been Defeated. Read his honest and heartfelt response to those playing politics with his hard-won freedom. #FreeAlaa Always. freealaa.net/alaa-response

Saved one of my favourites for Christmas @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social (Stunning white egret in the background)

Keith Ridgway’s ‘Dooneen’ is an engrossing queer-in-all-ways thriller, an insurgent near-future haunting of our present, a vivid reimagining of Dublin, and a love and a loss story. Published @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social and @ndbooks.bsky.social June 2026.

Just finished Claire-Louise Bennett's "Big Kiss, Bye-Bye", it's really brilliant! Glad to see it making the best books of 2025 lists –and happy to see her publishing with @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social again. fitzcarraldoeditions.com/books/big-ki...

A reminder to read this book by @joannapocock.bsky.social, if you haven't. Also, her previous non-fiction book, Surrender.

2020 #45 I was definitely on a @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social thing back in 2020 having found them the previous year. Being home to one of my favourite writers, Esther Kinsky, helped this trend. A tale of grief set in a beautiful landscape, there's a blurb in the alt text. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🖋️📚 #booksky #books

I had to go and pick up something for my partner's Christmas present this morning from one of my favourite bookshops and the idea was to go in...and come out with just one book...not three...🙄 @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social @joannapocock.bsky.social 💡📚 #booksky

2020 #43 Another gem from the @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social stable. A turbulent coming-of-age story set amidst the political and religious tensions of the Mediterranean world in the time of the Arab Spring and the GFC. Blurb in the alt text as usual but this is peak Enard. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🖋️📚 #booksky #books
