The Dodo recently escorted @andrewgallix around London bookshops to sign copies of Loren Ipsum. There are now signed copies available in the National Theatre bookshop.
"For Loren Ipsum (as its title implies), every literary work is ultimately a dummy text – it exists in lieu of what really needs to be written."

Congratulations to @andrewgallix - it's publication day for Loren Ipsum. Praised by Tom McCarthy - 'If Petronius had taken ketamine with Guy Debord' & Heidi James as 'Brilliant, tricksy and wild'. Available in Waterstones, Foyles, Blackwells, LRB, Burley Fisher & all good indies
COVER REVEAL: The Dodo is thrilled to reveal the cover for Loren Ipsum, @andrewgallix 's debut novel. Out September 2025.
The beautiful artwork is by Felicity Gill; cover design by Andy Soameson.
@andrewgallix@DodoInk I also love book covers that are paintings and am getting might weary of these overly designed flat colour book covers that became a trend and have now taken over - thus defeating the attempt to “stand out”. Let’s do more painted cover art.
It's that time again... My @ObsNewReview look-ahead. What are your must-read novels of 2025? I love writing this feature SO much. I try to read a novel a day in November - let me know what I should move to the top of the pile.
I was interviewed for @3ammagazine by Peter Labilliere. During a walk over Box Hill, we chatted about book surfing, The Watermark as a midlife crisis novel, schizophrenia, Dickens, spontaneous human combustion & Rachel Ingalls... 3ammagazine.com/3am/who-is-con…
