Bring the House Down

Charlotte Runcie

Toby Litt

Entertaining and very timely ... Delightfully excruciating ... One of the most enjoyable novels I’ve read in a long time.

A Ballet of Lepers: A Novel and Stories

Leonard Cohen

Toby Litt

A Ballet of Lepers is Cohen’s rediscovered first novel, accompanied by 16 short stories. Ranging from an unvarnished journal entry to an intergalactic Twilight Zone episode... On almost every page, you can find an image that later blossomed in one of his songs.

The Altar of the Dead

Henry James

Toby Litt

Was very happy to be asked by @scratch_books to write about a short story I love. I chose one of Henry James's not-much-respected (except by me) tales - 'The Altar of the Dead'. https://t.co/MJDZTrgtB6 https://t.co/CeM2wTeyr1
