A copy of Joanna Pocock’s Greyhound (Fitzcarraldo Editions, 2025) next to William Least-Heat Moon’s Blue Highways (Picador, 1983) two books of memoir and reportage amidst the less-travelled American landscape.

Janet Frame’s A State of Siege, in the standard Fitzcarraldo Editions livery: white text on International Klein Blue card

The blurb for the novel, as well as a quote from me: “[Frame's| writing is engaging and idiosyncratic - full of a character that proves that the best way to strike deep with the reader is not to do what everyone else is doing, but to grasp your distinctive vision of the world and hammer it hard." - John Self, The Times

New old Janet Frame coming from Fitzcarraldo Editions in November: her 1966 novel A State of Siege.

Wise words from the chap on the back cover.

Every time people in the uk complain their houses aren’t made for heat I am swift to point out that in fact it’s their streets that aren’t. (We need more trees everywhere!!)

THIS!!!!

Thank you to my mental health support team ❤️

It is Ernaux!

To be fair I witnessed a lot of people eating fast casual and wearing hoodies at QMUL.

Have to squeeze in that the writer went to Yale.

If you are including books: Pure Colour by Sheila Heti, Childish Literature by Alejandro Zambra (tr Megan McDowell)

They rereleased the mixed up files of Mrs basil e frankweiler, geniuses of children lit

I’m so excited to work on this book - it will be so valuable beyond, reaching into how we all look at the world, our citizenships and our responsibilities
as human beings right now.

ahh thank you Wendy! x
