Siri Hustvedt reflects on over forty years of love and life with Paul Auster - GHOST STORIES: A MEMOIR @sceptrebooks.bsky.social

‘Preston captures the fractured legacy of British Intelligence and the ghosts it leaves behind with haunting precision. I was captivated from start to finish.’ Peter Frankopan A STRANGER IN CORFU is out today @alexpreston.bsky.social

An unforgettable love story and a state-of-the-nation thriller that asks universal questions about desire, complicity, and what happens when your sense of self collapses with the world around you. MY ONLY BOY by Rosa Rankin-Gee

Wayne McGregor’s ballet Woolf Works reaches the kind of emotional and intellectual intensity that leaves you stunned. Impossible not to respond to its beauty. Sold out now but you can see it live in cinemas and it’s worth it. www.rbo.org.uk/tickets-and-... Based on the works of Virginia Woolf.

The Sunday Times on the crisis in non-fiction - we lost 17million non-fiction book sales in just over half a decade - with some good contributions from Mark Richards and my colleague John Ash. A) we have been here before B) non-fiction needs to be the best it’s been www.thetimes.com/article/d1be...

Congratulations to @oliverbullough.bsky.social as Everybody Loves Our Dollars is a Sunday Times bestseller! Review in the same paper calls his investigations ‘eye-opening’, his writing ‘fine’ and ends with a memorable ‘The man has balls’. www.thetimes.com/article/3044...

‘Until I thought, what if I just tell the truth? And then it fell out of me - it didn’t even pour, it fell.’ Fatima Bhutto on her remarkable new memoir www.theguardian.com/books/2026/j... @dauntbookspub.bsky.social

Paapa Essiedu, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Bryan Cranston in Ivo van Hove’s production of Arthur Miller’s All My Sons is the best thing out there right now. Refreshingly gimmick-free. Just great performances. www.wyndhamstheatre.co.uk/whats-on/all...

The Testaments by Margaret Atwood 8th April, Disney Plus @margaretatwood.bsky.social

Fatima’s most personal and moving book yet. Visceral and intelligent. It will speak to anyone who has loved. I am so taken by Jay Griffith’s beautiful description: ‘A tender and exquisite story of love held in the safekeeping of a dog’s vast heart.’ @dauntbooks.bsky.social

Thanks to the Guardian for publishing this extract from my new book. It's about one of the many very bleak aspects of the global anti-money laundering system.

Everybody Loves Our Dollars by Oliver Bullough, ‘one of Britain’s finest investigative reporters,’ says @theguardian.com is a ‘much needed exposé’ and ‘jaw-dropping’. A rave. www.theguardian.com/books/2026/j... @oliverbullough.bsky.social

A gorgeous children’s edition of The Story of Art Without Men by Katy Hessel

For the National Year of Reading, Sarah Perry chooses THE WEIRSTONE OF BRISINGAMEN by Alan Garner. I am struck by her perfect description of writing that gives children the dignity and honour to demand as much beauty and strangeness as adult readers do. (1h 52min in) www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
