🗣 VOCE BOOK OF THE WEEK 📚 PLASTIC, by MATTHEW RICE, published by @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social

Thoroughly enjoyed this immersion in Olga Tokarczuk’s Silesian world. Fascinating stories, related engagements and passages of great beauty. So great have her work and views from nearly thirty years ago translated and available. Many thanks @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social

"Normally, saying ‘let me think’ always led to me thinking of everything except the thing I was trying to think about, but somehow, on this drug, I was able to think deeply and directly in whatever direction I turned my mind." —Sheila Heti for @grantamag.bsky.social granta.com/good-medicine/

For #readindies today, my thoughts on the stunning new book by #jeremycooper from @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social - "Discord". More here kaggsysbookishramblings.wordpress.com/2026/02/11/t...

Did I buy this book based entirely on its title? Yes. Did I enjoy it? Also yes. Do I feel like I'm being tricked into reading more body horror than I'm comfortable with this year? Hmmm... (see also: Heather Parry's Carrion Crow). @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social @annedemarcken.com #booksky

I spent a couple of hours walking around the Prado with Mathias Énard observer.co.uk/culture/book...

2026 #15 This latest from @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social arrived yesterday and I picked it up for a look this morning and finished it in time for lunch. I'll leave it to the blurb in the alt text for the plot/outline but I will say the prose is hypnotic and quite superb. Definitely ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🖋️📚 #booksky

Here’s some more 2026 books that I’m looking forward to this year 👀 What have you got your eye on?

It was actually 48 hours before it was finished, but here's my short thread on Helen of Nowhere by Makenna Goodman, an impulse buy from @burleyfisher.bsky.social on Friday evening.

It is a parable, a chant, a meditation on oppression at a granular level. It is extraordinary. Out in April with @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social (It will be in a blue cover, but this is an advance review copy which is why it’s white.) (2) #fiction #fitzcarraldo #eventhorizon

OK, so Balsam Karam’s novel ‘Event Horizon’ is an absolutely incredible piece of writing. It reminded me a bit of Marlen Haushofer’s ‘The Wall’ in that it can described as dystopian or speculative, but because of the world we are living in, the events described are ones that feel all too real. (1)

Book 13: Makenna Goodman's Helen of Nowhere (from @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social) and a DEYA Off Piste Honeycomb.

Morning read It Lasts Forever And Then It’s Over by Anne De Marcken @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social

Happy Saturday, nerds 🥳 Always enjoy Jonathon Buckley. Let's see what's going on in his latest, published by @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social

Terrific book post day when books arrive with unexpected synchronicity: Brad Bigelow’s ‘Virginia Faulkner: A Life in Two Acts’ followed by Marianne Brooker’s ‘Intervals’. Thank you so much @neglectedbooks.com & @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social I can’t wait to dive into the two acts and the interval.

My partner and I treated ourselves to the book subscription from the always wonderful @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social. So exciting to see the first novel arrive this morning, and I can't wait to get stuck into this! ...🪨🗒️✂️ on who gets to read it first

This publishes tomorrow from @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social I love the way Makenna plays with the idea and images of structures- there’s a really neat riff on the idea of an ego as a kind of structure and container. It’s so smart.

I am so grateful to the judges and the wonderful people at @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social for backing this grungy road trip of a book. GREYHOUND has found itself among some brilliant company and I am truly over the moon.

My review of Big Kiss, Bye-Bye by Claire-Louise Bennett, published by @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social TL;DR This book might not be for everyone, but I have rarely encountered such a directly relatable narrator. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Jon Lee Anderson will be on tour for his forthcoming book, TO LOSE A WAR. Details here: fitzcarraldoeditions.com/2026/01/jon-...

I wrote two fiction reviews that published this weekend - on Elisa Shua Dusapin's The Old Fire @dauntbookspub.bsky.social for the TLS and Makenna Goodman's Helen of Nowhere @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social for the FT weekend. Very different books but both immensely rewarding reads!

Not sure how I feel about this

This is fantastic; best ’new’ novel I’ve read in a long while. An atemporal, partially interlacing cosmic pattern created from vignettes relating to disparate people living in an obscure lower Silesian town, an easily-worn philosophy and dream diary which is staggeringly poetic. (One can only… 1/2
