Christmas Present Puzzle! My cartoon for this week's @GuardianBooks / @GdnSaturday
Title: Christmas Present Puzzle! Image: A complex maze with seven rooms hidden in it. In the rooms are a mum, a girl, an uncle, a baby, a grandfather, a comfy chair and a 24-hour garage. Instructions: You have five books and five relatives. Can you avoid everyone, find a quiet spot, read the books, then rush to the all-night garage to pick up some last-minute gifts?

The only book Sebald wrote in English, & the last published in his lifetime. And a bit overlooked too, I have the feeling…

Issue 10: Intimacy | Cradle Dreaming | Panorama: The Journal of Travel, Place, and Nature

There wasn’t much sunlight filtering in but the place still felt like the inside of a cathedral—not only the soaring ceilings and brilliant colours like stained glass, but also the hushed atmosphere...

“On it goes, every page another example of a writer desperate to show that he is committing fine writing.” V funny and on-point takedown of Paul Lynch’s Prophet Song by @RobbieTimes in this week’s @TheTimesBooks newsletter: link.thetimes.co.uk/view/628…

The wrong Irish winner? Reaction from me to Paul Lynch's novel Prophet Song winning the Booker Prize last night: inews.co.uk/news/paul-lynchs…
Paul Lynch’s Prophet Song shouldn't have won the Booker

Paul Lynch’s Prophet Song shouldn't have won the Booker

This year's award has gone to the wrong Irish novel
