“We were brilliant in the sun.” #simonarmitage #20BOS26 Book 30
A short post today to share a recent arrival in the form of another poetry pamphlet from the poet laureate, Simon Armitage. I've amassed quite a collection of his books and pamphlets, several of them signed, so when I saw that Faber were reissuing a limited edition of his first ever publication, "Human Geography", I just couldn't resist.

“…culture belongs…in its original context.” #kafka #20BOS26 Book 29
As I do keep saying, books lead to other books... I was unsure what to pick up after the Borges/di Giovanni and did spend a little time reading up on the state of Borges' literary estate. And this reminded me that I had a book lurking on the TBR which explored another issue of contested literary heritage - "Kafka's Last Trial" by Benjamin Balint…

“Translation is an art.” #borges #20BOS26 Book 28
It was inevitable that after finishing "Trafalgar", with its echoes of Borges (amongst others), that I would be drawn towards a book by or about him; and I realised I had the perfect title on the TBR which chimed in with my current reading mood completely. That book is "The Lesson of the Master: On Borges and his Work" by Norman Thomas di Giovanni…

As I mentioned at the end of July, I had made a modest pile of books for August's Women in Translation Month, and for two titles I've stuck to my plans. However, I saw mention online (I think via a Penguin newsletter) of new editions of fictions by Angelica Gorodischer, and I recalled that I had an earlier copy which came as a…

#booksky 💙📚 #bookstodon All the Stage is Her World! My #bookreview for "Shakespeare: The Man Who Pays the Rent" by Judi Dench, on my #bookblog now. No wonder they're renaming The Shaftesbury theatre in her honor next year (and I'm glad it isn't in her memory)! #BeatTheBacklist #OOCZ2026 #20bos26

“…waiting for an inevitable disaster…” #WITMonth #20BOS26 Book 26 #intothewhirlwind
I seem to have spent a lot of time recently involved in books which deal with the horrors of the 20th century; maybe it's a reaction to what's happening in our current world where it seems that the human race hasn't moved on at all since then. Today's book is a title I've had on the TBR in one form or another for a good number of years and have got close to reading several times - …
