Just read This Other Eden by Paul Harding. Thanks @HutchHeinemann @laurabrooke59 His earlier book Tinkers is brilliant but this even better. A bigger book with wider resonance. Stunning writing. Honest, painful and beautiful. #amreading #WritingCommunity https://t.co/YSb3Kcd23m

Just finished reading Blindness by Portuguese writer Jose Saramago. I honestly don’t quite know what to say….. Definitely recommend it but buckle up because it is a very rough ride. Not surprising he won @NobelPrize #litfic #writerslife https://t.co/BXmYAmxayj

The Café with No Name

Robert Seethaler
Alice JollyAlice Jolly

Seethaler's subtly understated voice remains warmly welcome in a literary culture that often displays its intentions too obviously. Many will love this calming, gentle and unsentimental story. Certainly, Seethaler remains admirably true to his creative vision.
