😀 if people are serious about attending, they’ll go to the litfest website anyway. And in these uncertain days…
Anyway. It feels like a nice shout out for #venicenoir
And @journeywoman.bsky.social
is a great resource for anything travel related

On Tuesday, @milesbsn.bsky.social set off home from Milan at breakfast time, changed trains in Paris (with obligatory patisserie), changed again at Euston (via the Euston tap 🍺) & arrived back in Colwyn Bay around 11pm after his weekend at #VeniceNoir. Around 1,000 miles by train in one day! 🇮🇹🇫🇷🏴🏴

Now we have to keep everything crossed that #IcelandNoir and #VeniceNoir don't clash again!

I'm two or three days behind (due to a packed few days with #VeniceNoir), but I just had to agree with this anyway.
Also greatly looking forward to the holiday.

Thank you and congratulations to all the organisers of #VeniceNoir - it’s been a wonderful weekend. Enjoyed the Grand Finale at Hotel Monaco, particularly the very impressive video of the festival.

Ian Rankin receiving the 2025 Venice Noir award, a Murano glass dagger. A festival in fab historic settings that combines autumnal Venice, books and crime (plus advice on murder methods) - plan ahead to be here for next year's edition #VeniceNoir

What's disconcerting about coming to #VeniceNoir is that I'm spending quite a lot of time looking out for 'accidental' death opportunities. A trailing rope on a Vaporetto my current focus.

A touch of "Don't Look Now" on the way back last night in torrential rain. Nothing like giving yourself a scare. #VeniceNoir

Venice Noir in the glamorous Ateneo Veneto. I switched to an early flight so I could get here in time for this interesting discussion about the many Venices in books, popular culture & the imagination #venicenoir

A panel of novelists under a screen displaying text
Like writers’ work, the work of professional translators has been pillaged by #AI companies to train #LLMmodels so it’s disheartening when a wonderful #bookfestival features an AI translator (with an awful output at that)… #VeniceNoir @annamazz.bsky.social @davidhewson.com

A night view of the Grand Canal, boats showing lights, the church of Salute in the distance.
A favourite view. #VeniceNoir
