My novel is coming out in paperback soon with this handsome new cover! If you've been thinking of picking up a copy, please do me a solid and consider putting in a preorder for £10.44, which I understand is roughly the price of a pint in London. Thank you!

"I heard that Prynne was of the opinion that the only two countries with well-formed poetic traditions were England and China, though China’s was far better established, and that Prynne considered American poetry to be rudimentary and infantile in comparison".

Daniele Del Giudice's 1st novel (1983) has finally been translated into English. It's about a writer who decided to stop writing. Italo Calvino said this book was "a new approach to representation." From New Vessel Press.

Reactivating just to say that I finally watched Sentimental Value and hated it. Flat-pack arthouse cinema. Bourgeois Mubi-slop. The Departed level of hackneyed symbolism. More like Sentimental Dogshit.
