If you're in NYC today come and say hello at Rizzoli Bookstore at 6pm where I'll be in conversation with Cressida Leyshon. Reserve a ticket at the link.

Great privilege for me to be a @ndbooks.bsky.social author. Great people, great books.

“What am I looking at? Ships?” Read from @rid9way.bsky.social’s new novel, Dooneen.

Really interesting account of how the genocide in Gaza has changed NYC. From The Key from @palfest.bsky.social

Look at this beautiful thing. From @ndbooks.bsky.social. Design by Office of Paul Sahre. Words by me.

In New York. Where the New Directions headquarters looms oppressively over lower Manhattan, and the terrified, baffled citizens scurry obediently from one Dooneen event to another.

Dooneen is the incredible new novel written by Keith Ridgway and published by @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social. @rid9way.bsky.social will join us at WCLF for a FREE EVENT alongside Djamel White in Bantry Library on Saturday 11 July www.irishtimes.com/culture/book...

I'm grateful to David Hayden (@seventydys.bsky.social) for this conversation. In today's Irish Times.

Arrivals from Twisted Spoon Press (@twistedspoon.bsky.social) in Prague, who make lovely English language editions of very interesting books. (And I'm a sucker for an ampersand.)

For years now I've woken up every morning to two big David Hockney prints on the wall opposite. I open the blinds and the light hits them and they just make me happy. I'm so sorry to hear that he's died.

Nice new books from No Alibis this week including the much anticipated Dooneen by @rid9way.bsky.social

And the latest novel from @rid9way.bsky.social - Dooneen has also arrived in Melbourne at @paperbackbookshop.bsky.social on Bourke Street

Many thanks to everyone who came along to Burley Fisher last night, especially @chrispower.bsky.social for the good chat, and the lovely @burleyfisher.bsky.social staff who were so welcoming. If you're in north London and fancy a signed Dooneen (or an unsigned one), Burley Fisher has you covered.

NYC friends - two events next week. The first being ALL PRIDE, NO PREJUDICE! A Literary LGBTQ+ Celebration at the Center For Fiction, Brooklyn, from 6.30pm on Wednesday 17th June. Tickets at the link.

Congratulations to the prolific Pester on two books out today. The paperback of the wonderful novel The Expansion Project, and a new collection of short stories Sail Away Land (which I'm reading at the moment - it's great).

Dooneen is published today. Many thanks to all the lovely people of @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social for their care. I like this book. I hope you will too. Available now off the shelf or to order in all the great bookshops of these islands.

Dooneen is published this week. A few dates coming up, info below. More to be added.

Listowel

June 23rd. One for your diary.

A brisk, right up to date, very accessible account of the rise of the far right in the UK, some ways of understanding why, and (most welcome) some positive strategies for resisting and reversing. From @trillingual.bsky.social via @picadorbooks.bsky.social

Thanks to everyone who came along to the event at @ilfdublin.bsky.social last night, and to Eoin Sweeney for the good chat, and @dubray-books.bsky.social for selling lots of copies of Dooneen.

This is a remarkable piece of work. Devastating. Uncertain how to talk about it to be honest. Read it. Read Human Acts.

As is customary, a playlist precedes the new book, Dooneen, out in a few weeks. This link here is to Tidal. Spotify and Apple follow below. I hope you enjoy the music. And I hope you'll like the book. June 4th from : @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social and @ndbooks.bsky.social

Really enjoyed this. Has left me thoughtful about names, voices, meanings, languages, queerness, Judaism, activism, and a lot of other things. A welcome reminder of the extraordinary richness of the unofficial story, the disallowed story, of us. From @suchmayer.bsky.social via Peninsula Press

This now exists. Available soon, from all good bookshops. Available now on pre-order, from all good bookshops. @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social
