☘️ Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Thinking back to a favourite Irish moment - the day I crossed paths with Colm Tóibín at a literary festival. Magical, like the reading list he shared. He rattled off the boldest mix, and I remember thinking: of course he’d choose the wildest path through the bookshelves.
Are there any Italians on BlueSky?
Any Italians on BlueSky who live in Abbiategrasso? (OK, this is getting a bit niche)
Any Italians on BlueSky who live in Abbiategrasso and are fans of the Canterbury scene? (Hmm ...)
If so, come to this! Music by Wyatt, Hopper, Miller ... and Coe!
Happy World Book Day!
Happy New Year! 🤞
Buon Natale, Happy Holidays and best wishes, friends! 🎅🎄❤️
Cool indeed! His kind smile, I’d say.
A kind legend, George R. R. Martin.
What a pleasure to meet him in Iceland!

“Even if it’s just a brief nap, like this half-hour one, afterward you have to start all over again.” Read from Daniele Del Giudice’s novel A Fictional Inquiry, translated by @annemilanoappel.bsky.social.
📚✍️ Thanks to the Toronto Public Library, during the month of October this band of time-travelling writers gathered to critique each other’s historical fiction under the guidance of the incomparable Nino Ricci 🖋️ As William Faulkner once said,“ The past is never dead. It’s not even past.”

📚✨ My furry editor and I are deep into the historical heart of my new book, tracing stolen masterpieces from WWII-era Tuscany through the shadowed corridors of northern Europe. Stay tuned for sneak peeks, behind-the-scenes chaos and, maybe, a few cat-induced typos 😅

Happy #Caturday!
🔖 Picked up this wise bookmark on a trip to Ireland a few years ago. As inspiring today as then.

One of Francesco Petrarch’s most famous sonnets. No. 47 from his Canzoniere is dedicated to Laura, his muse and symbol of idealised love. Without ever explicitly mentioning her name, Petrarch blesses the day, the month, the year, the beautiful country, the place where he first saw her.

Awful new look.
An unconventional and idiosyncratic creative writing handbook, just as you’d expect from Patricia Highsmith. “Plotting and Writing Suspense Fiction” #greatreads
