The V&A East Storehouse. They’ve got bits of Robin Hood Gardens estate here, including videos of the lifts and walkways. Turning the working classes into anthropology for the middle classes to come and have a wank about. If you loved this estate so much you could have saved it.

Publication day for my favourite read of '26 so far, SAFE SPACES by @ticecin. Essential in the same way tea is. Grab her debut KEEPING THE HOUSE while you're at it.

Latest handiwork from fave mindfucker @SarahPinborough. We talk of genius like a lightning strike bestowing virtuosity, but for me it's returning to the well over decades and drawing not just brilliant work, but work that is fresh and exciting and different to what came before 👇

Out today! One of the best of the year. A mystery thick with misdirection, made thornier by slippery characters & devilish humour. Consistently laugh-out-loud funny, mercilessly skewers crime publishing. Will be the talk of group chats & Facebook clans. Prepare to be filleted.

Donald Harington. The weirdest, wildest and greatest writer you don't yet know. An undiscovered country. Go exploring.

When author photos were author photos, 28 year old men looked like that, and hardbacks were three bucks fifty. Warren Fine's strange frontier fiction, published on Knopf's resurrected (and short-lived) Borzoi imprint. Cover art by sculptor and woodcut artist, James Grashow.
