Sooooo pleased that KZfaq suggested this video. Am looking forward to having a binge. Totally agree with you about A Flat Place, I don’t know how she did it. It’s exceptional. Really need to read some Annie. Also need to read more Everett. Very excited for the new Garth Greenwell.

Ah thanks for watching! And yes, you can binge Annie really quickly (they're short and sharp books). And Greenwell is just brilliant.

so happy to have stumbled upon your channel! loved how tense and uncomfortable the Sudjic is. the END!!! loving your Percival Everett journey! i need to get to him. what do you recommend as a good first start to his bibliography?

ah thank you!! glad you like. yes, the ending of Asylum Road had me screaming. as to Everett, it depends what you like - I think you can't go wrong with Erasure, but Wounded is also wonderful (in a much more realist way), and Telephone is more experimental (there are three versions released in the world, with minor changes...)

yayyy a new booktuber to watch :)) I need to read Ernaux she sounds right up my street-all the other books you listed seem interesting too. Taste! I just finished my notes write up of Braiding Sweetgrass. Wholeheartedly recommend especially if your view of nature writing is tainted a bit by bland middle class white cishetero male perspectives. Robin Wall Kimmerer really makes the world feel like somewhere that loves us back as she herself beautifully puts it, which is certainly a think a necessary POV in the old Anthropocene.
