So Much Blue
Percival Everett
An afternoon spent reading another great Percival Everett novel - So Much Blue - in the company of my lovely dog. Like Telephone, SMB has a curious Central American strand to it - I don't have fully formed thoughts on how these other spaces work in his novels, but I noticed it. https://t.co/WVxicnAD8y

The Untold Story of the Talking Book
Matthew Rubery
@MarieAllitt Unsure whether it covers this specifically, but do you know Matt Rubery's The Untold Story of the Talking Book? https://t.co/MQIUor5DYs

Cloud Atlas
David Mitchell
@Sweetburlingame it's a masterpiece, but very difficult to teach in my experience. Can work well in a seminar intertextually with David Mitchell's direct pastiche in Cloud Atlas.

The End of Vandalism
Tom Drury
Sitting down with Tom Drury's The End of Vandalism though and laughing out loud at parts. A very wry sense of humour here that builds as gradually as the plot. "The arsonist shook his head and said if it was him, he would play it safe and call ahead."

Wounded
Percival Everett
There's definitely something to be written on caves in Percival Everett's novels. WOUNDED and TELEPHONE both have a central focus on this geology.

I Am Not Sidney Poitier
Percival Everett
Today I read Percival Everett's I AM NOT SIDNEY POITIER. Totally over the top metafiction - amusing with some great stylistic parodies. https://t.co/3AP0a0Uh4h

The Silicon Valley Novel Series
Ann Bridges

The Birds: in large print
Aristophanes
Feeling rubbish and reading slowly, but finished @sadiseshiah's Utopian Drama this evening. From Aristophanes's The Birds (which she once made me teach!) up to the contemporary, this was a great read of how it can be generative to stage the impossible. https://t.co/CuT2A5XnAl

Damned If I Do: Stories
Percival Everett
Today's reading was Percival Everett's short story collection, Damned If I Do. Did it with Toby's company. Reading and dogs is a homely combo. https://t.co/PkcPMnQQQP
