Ewan Morrison on Unwords:

“Reads like those lucid thoughts that can burst into a life — and then vanish again.”

I spent all of March in hospital, much of it in Kafka’s mysterious, troubled, frustrated and fascinating company. Here’s my review of his unexpurgated Diaries theguardian.com/books/2024/apr…

Am thrilled to share the beautiful cover for ‘Home is Where we Start’ designed by incredible artist Sophy Hollington.
I’m bowled over by early readers' responses to my memoir❤️🔥.

Thank you so much to Granta Books for my copy of #TheWatermark by Sam Mills which is out in August.

Jaime and Rachel meet Augustus, an author who imprisons them in his latest work, and they have to find their way home through a network of novels.

Doesn’t it sound amazing!

Thank you Granta Books for these gorgeous proofs of my new novel The Watermark - out on August 1st! Joanna Kavenna has described it as 'such a thrilling & original novel: an existential mystery, a love story, an absurdist quest.'

PROOF REVEAL 🎉

THE WATERMARK is Sam Mills's kaleidoscopic, book-surfing adventure of love and fate. Publishing in August.

An Aeon+Psyche colleague just informed me that my essay about gambling and loss made it onto Granta Top Read of 2023. So delighted about this – especially since my essay Personal Growth was among Granta's Top Reads of 2022. Can I die happy now?

Unwords on display BlackwellsManchester

In this week’s Open Book I talk to Gerald Murnane about connection, confidence, and why he wouldn’t know a postmodernist if one sat down beside him. Plus Mia Levitin and John Self enthusing about 2024 books, and Louise Welsh on Rilke. Listen now: bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

Last night the Dodo left the launch for Andrew Gallix's Unwords with his feathers drenched in absinthe and his claws covered in cigar ash. Many books were sold and signed, and you can buy a signed editions from the Dodo Ink shop dodoink.com/shop
