Your annual reminder to start reading now if you live in the North and want an immersive experience of #TheFireStarters The book begins about now.

Four bookstores, a bunch of helpful Serbian booksellers and one hand drawn map later I am finally the proud owner of two copies of the Serbian translation of #TheFireStarters which I didn’t know existed until yesterday

Big thanks to Gary Lightbody for very kindly mentioning #TheFireStarters in his beautiful new book #theforestisthepath Sorry to be missing him in Belfast this week in conversation with the always amazing Lucy Caldwell
