I published Claire Powell’s first novel, At the Table, in my former life at Fleet. Her second novel is out now, from Chatto, and it has a rave review in the Sunday Times. She is a gifted novelist, and it’s brilliant to see her getting recognition.

I enjoyed speaking to Richard Dawkins, to me one of the great post war writers. We talked about his first book The Selfish Gene and his next book, a sci-fi novel, about a Homo erectus "Romeo and Juliet" love story

A fabulous review in the TLS! “She has written a racy, spirited, vernacular book based on shrewd research… Senior has a sure ear for nuance, a fair mind and bundles of good sense.”

Actually this is on *16* June - but I'm looking forward to it so much that I am going to get there four days early.
I'm INCREDIBLY excited about this event with the great @j_amesmarriott on 12 June.
We'll be talking about books, reading and so much more. And James will be plugging his new book! Truly, a night to remember.
Amazingly, there are still tickets available:

This one got a bit buried on our website because of the elections — but it's an interesting book, worth a read

No. I can confirm that @tompeck and I are not newly elected councillors for Reform in Havering. Also, I am not Tom’s agent although he looks like a Nashville rockstar.

Oh bless, just like old times. I’d reply to Owen directly but the brave little warrior blocked me years ago. Here’s a link to my “disgusting” @thetimes column which oddly he doesn’t provide 🤔

Slipped a bit! But chuffed that Talking Classics is still in best sellers. A bit of vanity, yes. But more important: it’s a sign that the subject still matters when people want to read about it, debate it & pay good money for it! (As with @holland_tom recent Suetonius. )

Amendment: "Globalize the Intifada" means "It's too difficult and dangerous to kill Jews powerfully protected by Israel's defense forces, so let's try kill them instead where they are half-heartedly protected by unsympathetic governments and weak police."

“Globalising the intifada means trying to kill Jews, which is what people are now doing.”

Just a small shout-out to each and every one of my fellow Jews out there who now find themselves working really hard not to spend their entire evening telling people on the internet to fuck off.
