Dwight Garner

The Upstairs Delicatessen, by ⁦@DwightGarner,⁩ not only sits alongside Liebling’s Between Meals, and Trilling’s Tummy Trilogy as one of most beautifully written books about food (and reading about food) I’ve read. But is so lyrical and lovely and funny too. An instant classic

This Is Not Miami

Fernanda Melchor
Tom Parker BowlesTom Parker Bowles

This Is Not Miami, by Fernando Melchior (beautifully translated by Sophie Hughes) is mesmerising-a collection of Veracruz cronicas, a mix of journalism, and novelistic art, taking in narco wars, immigrants, ghosts, and devils. It reads, at times, like an exquisite fever dream https://t.co/Pg2oICLR3U
