It was a privilege to be photographed at the Saint-Malo literary festival by Sophie Bassouls, one of the great French photographers, who's shot almost all the great writers of the last 50 years from Margaret Atwood to James Baldwin to John Updike.

A wonderful few days promoting LES ÉLÉMENTS (@editionsLattes) in Geneva, Lyon and Saint-Malo. Being embraced by so many readers reminds me how lucky I am to be able to write the books I want to write and live the life I always dreamed of. I'll never take it for granted!

Interesting list of the 100 best English language novels in @guardian.
I was one of the authors invited to contribute and 3 of my choices feature (Wuthering Heights, David Copperfield, Howards End).
It would be fun to spend 100 weeks reading them all!

A piece I wrote for @Independent_ie @TheSundayIndo about the role the @IrishBookAward has played in Ireland's literary culture over the last 20 years.
That pic is from 2007, when I was a lot bigger and Ryan looked about 12 years old. 😂
