Bob Dylan Too Much of Nothing
Derek Barker
Delighted to see #TooMuchofNothing, my first novel, resurrected at the new http://PalomaMedia.com for "Ghost Week." It's a sure-enough ghost story set in Southern California, with a title cribbed from a Bob Dylan song. https://www.palomamedia.com/post/michael-scott-moore-too-much-of-nothing

The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression
Andrew Solomon
Andrew Solomon's piece on having passages from his books elided in China, and whole books blacklisted in Texas — because of his homosexuality — is very good. So is *The Noonday Demon* as a whole. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/23/books/review/far-from-the-tree-matt-krause-texas-book-blacklist-ban.html

Ian McEwan
@doberah @KatyDerbyshire *The Innocent* by Ian McEwan isn't sweet at heart but it has a positive twist, which is to say it ends not half as grimly as it could.
