Ever since Ash before Oak, I’ve learned to read everything by Jeremy Cooper that @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social publishes.

‘What is the task of the intellectual at a time when, at the heart of liberal democracies, genocide is normalized and protest suppressed?’ Support independent publishing. Bravo @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social We need you now. #booksky ❤️‍🔥 lareviewofbooks.org/article/edwa...

This is the best book I’ve read in many months. It is simultaneously deeply human, sharp, analytically and emotionally intelligent. I don’t want the book to end. Ever. @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social

‘This was how to better understand language, to develop a violet crush on somebody.’ Polly Barton’s new book from @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social is out next month. Her oeuvre is really shaping up. Exposure of ourselves through language, our bodies, and desire

‘the Greyhound is a moving space inhabited largely by those who cannot afford alternatives…’ Just a few of the words composing a passionately comprehensive review. #booksky ❤️‍🔥 @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social @joannapocock.bsky.social readersretreat2017.wordpress.com/2026/02/27/g...

Here Anthony Cummins reviews JEremy Cooper's new book "Discord" @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social , adding to the mystery rather than attempting to solve it. An admirable approach. observer.co.uk/culture/book...

‘My own personal choice is to continue writing – simply because that is the only thing I can do to counterbalance the distortion. Someone has to use Russian as a language of love’ - Maria Stepanova on Disappearing Act @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social shop.pushkinhouse.org/blogs/booksh...

‘It is five years since I was exiled. My own erasure must be underway. Though for a long time I resisted settling in the US, I now live in New York.’ Carlos Manuel Álvarez on exile, translated by Will Noah, in @equatormag.bsky.social: www.equator.org/articles/the...

New on the blog today, I've written about THE EMPUSIUM by Olga Tokarczuk (tr Antonia Lloyd-Jones). I loved this wonderfully sly health resort horror story in which the true horrors are the misogynistic views of men, entrenched in early 20th-century society. jacquiwine.wordpress.com/2026/02/17/t...
