Just receive this book by Malachi Whitaker with an intro by Katya Taylor.
According to the New Statesman, it is ‘not an autobiography, not quite a journal, it combines in a most original way the qualities of both.’
Yes, please!

"This long-neglected writer allowed the world—its politics, technologies and conflicts—to intrude on her books. Her rediscovery is perfectly timed."

PS: Mentioned by Iain Sinclair in his intro to The Lowlife' is this out of print book from 1951 -- sounds great but clearly old copies are precious. Costs $57 on Amazon (just checking the price there).

Random cover from my TBR pile:
A Case in Madrid by Edmund Naughton (1973)
A direct-to-paperback novel by the author of McCabe, a fine novel & the basis of the classic Robert Altman film McCabe and Mrs. Miller. So ... is this a silk purse or a sow's ear?
