I read a book in one sitting this afternoon. Was it a grabby thriller? A breathlessly hyped debut novel? No. It was a narrative poem in the form of an email: GOODLORD by @EllaFrears. Absolutely compelling. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Folks - can I draw your attention to this excellent crowdfunder for an award set up in Michael’s name. It’ll help fund a place for someone to study on the Arvon Advanced Writers Programme. We’d be grateful for anything you can chip in.
