Recent reading and rereading. First time reading Lessing (really enjoyed). Also really enjoyed the Patrick Lenton books from Subbed In
Recent book stack. Reread of The Years (struggled with it before) and it blew my tiny mind this time around
(Maybe useful for understanding the saturation of literary-adjacent parties in urban anglophone centres right now?)
I love a publishing memoir!! This one by @404ink.bsky.social is genuinely insightful
Very excited that some of my research has been published by Media International Australia.
It looks at McPhee Gribble's publishing parties in 1980s Melbourne to show the pursuit of capital beneath a disinterested veneer:

Recent reading. Hyper is so so good
November / early December reading
Very happy to have a story in the new issue of Debris alongside some wonderful writers (including π.o. (!!)). And grateful for @mxcreant.bsky.social ‘s editing.
Books I’ve read recently!
People in the publishing industry are weirdly quiet about money. But as Wes Enzinna points out, every literary career is underwritten by some sort of capital, be it from a wealthy family member, a fellowship, or a dubious side gig.
