Josephine Rowe

@xiankiefer Thank you, Christian! (and again for the appropriately feverish GIF shimmy)

@MicWink @PaulinaOlszanka Mate, I don't... well first are we speaking in marble or meat?

@JosephineRowe @PaulinaOlszanka But even these look elegant! You could make a killing selling your unwanted offcuts to the rest of us.

Rereading this, and intrigued again by @JosephineRowe's subcutaneous sorcery. Honestly don't think she knows how to write a bad sentence.

@AndreaRowe_au @MicWink @BlarneyBooks light years from true, but still appreciated!

@MicWink @BlarneyBooks @JosephineRowe I utterly, utterly adore her! She only knows how to produce the most sublime work.

@the_shb @guardian please think of the leaf litter

@PaulinaOlszanka @MicWink I really do, over and over again; I just try to keep them safely locked up in these bright paper prisons (that I habitually destroy in a kind of micro Midsommar 🌸🔥)

@MicWink @JosephineRowe She really doesn't 💜

@MarthaHodes Sending much love to you, dear Martha. I hope he feels very close, and that the New York spring is a comfort x

Stuart Hodes, 1924 - 2023. Here, with Martha Graham in Appalachian Spring. He is on his next adventure now.

@the_shb I mean, they can definitely *RUN* but I didn't... Okay, I am def. fabricating my own Tupperware/broom handle contraption.

@the_shb 😶 They can jump? (??)

@LaralaraPp I was going to say: read Greene on Capri! Even if you haven't read—or don't much care for—Greene. I love it as much as TOV. Have actually been hungry for it in this little seaside town (that feels much like an island) and can't wait to dig it out of a book box.

@JosephineRowe I haven't mentioned I haven't read Greene on Capri and The Great Fire. Whoops. Did they disappoint you after TofV or am I encouraged to read all?

I still dream of finding a novel in the vein of Transit of Venus, does anyone know of one? ( anyone being @JosephineRowe 🦄🐴)

@LaralaraPp (I am a sucker for this love story and got misty in the bookstore at page 1)

@LaralaraPp Definitely de Kretser for most kindred. But please read the Yates at some point (also good sibling dynamics over a lifetime). And/or I've just picked up the SH bio, and can very much recommend—opens in a similar register to how Greene on Capri leaves off; a Francis-shaped ache..

@GorDunc44 Oh that's what they are! One came inside last week

@LaralaraPp @St_Bishop_ @OlubasB PS, this Michael Hofmann review has your number: "When I read it I wished all novels could be like that, and didn’t understand why they weren’t." (And in't "shivered my timbers" a great phrase?)

@LaralaraPp Have we talked about Michelle de Kretser & Questions of Travel? Also @St_Bishop_ is extraordinary. Other things that come to mind, Richard Yates' The Easter Parada, Kawabata... Or you can satisfy the Hazzard cravings (as I plan to) w recent bio by @OlubasB the-tls.co.uk/articles/shirl…
