A Room Above a Shop, by Anthony Shapland
Short, powerful book about two men and their furtive relationship. The writing is so beautiful - a uniquely sparse, dense and quiet prose that felt cinematic and completely captivating. Cannot recommend enough. #aroomaboveashop #anthonyshapland #grantabooks
An image of my wrist and closed hand in morning light resting on a white cotton sheet (hotel bed) with a smudged club stamp of a bird, the morning after.
A small stage with two seated people with microphones. On the left a white man with short hair and a blue shirt is talking. He looks serious, in that moment. On the right is the interviewer who is listening, a brown woman in a blue checked dress with long hair.
It's been some time since I woke up with a club-stamp AND full recollection - 1 week ago today I was very happy to be interviewed by the amazing @sanagoyalkotecha.bsky.social - part of #grantabooks & @serpents-tail.bsky.social debut showcase (publication 13/03/25). I look verrry serious here...
