On Europe day: Russia has become a permanent war society, wrapping itself in the regalia of the CCCP. Even as it attempts to project strength it exhibits extraordinary fragility. War is the only logical place for its nationalism to end up. Putin's war on Ukraine must be defeated.

I was at King's Lynn Fiction Festival this week: a rare chance to meet other writers & explore how our work intersects. The chance to draw across very different works to find meaning is one of the things I value most about these events. It's endlessly re-energising & rewarding.

The conversations on literary biography, craft, metafiction, were nuanced & generative. A privilege to be in such wonderful company at the very special last fiction festival @kingslynnfestival miranda seymour
