Today I withdrew a job app because more than anything I want my writing to be a success. Time to focus & take myself seriously. Five year goal: to be privileged enough to be invited to speak @hayfestival. @PeterFlorence please keep a slot open for me 😊 #amwriting #writerslife

I could not be happier that @MaazaMengiste's outstanding novel, The Shadow King, has made it onto this year's @TheBookerPrizes longlist. This review in the @nytimesbooks does justice to its multi-layered, lyrical, brutal brilliance. Congratulations Maaza nytimes.com/2019/09/26/boo…
