The contact email on that website isn't working, but Deb's Twitter handle is @oliveforster (after Olive Kitteridge, the Elizabeth Strout character). We'll fix the email thing as soon as I can get hold of the web guy.

Lovely piece in @NewYorker about Mick Herron, writer of the Slough House novels. "He ... is shy and flushes easily, pink as a peony. He does not drive a car and he does not own a smartphone, and ... wearing woollen slippers, he writes spy novels. https://t.co/rRIMqZe06v

I spoke to Kevin Rudd in New York yesterday about his new book, The Avoidable War, about America and China, although really it’s all about China, and what Xi Jinping is up to. Really interesting book and interview (no paywall) https://www.eurekareport.com.au/investment-news/avoidable-war-navigating-living-dangerously-with-china/151136
