Aldo Leopold

Revisiting Aldo Leopold's 'Thinking like a Mountain' chapter from 'A Sand County Almanac' (1949) for a class I'm teaching tonight. Strange how, with the legalised hunting of wolves going on right now, this could have been written today. #wolves #aldoleopold #environmentalwriting https://t.co/XYkjCaKMpz

Waiting for Nothing

Tom Kromer

Just finished ‘Waiting for Nothing’, an absolute gut punch of a novel by Tom Kromer about life ‘on the bum’ during the Great Depression. This is the University of Georgia edition, but I see ⁦⁦@thecommonbreath⁩ reissued it in 2021. An absolute gem of a book. #TomKromer https://t.co/l6zhQ8zWPv

The Lottery

Shirley Jackson

I wanted something engrossing to take my mind off the boring practicalities of moving house and landed on Simenon’s ‘The Krull House’ (translated by Howard Curtis). One of Simenon’s ‘hard novels’, I found it weirdly upsetting with a hades of Shirley Jackson’s ‘The Lottery’. (1/2) https://t.co/iP5knrtNHk

Jean-Luc Godard

The husband is obsessed with this clip from Google StreetView of Jean-Luc Godard and Anne-Marie Miéville (set to the music from 'Le Mépris'). Incredibly moving and so very Godardian. https://t.co/5S8DD0nBtu #JLG #Godard #cinema #LeMepris #FinDeCinema
