Am looking forward to the story already.

While on the subject of WW2, I’ve just fin’d Rachel Billington’s ‘War Babies’. It’s an atmospheric examination of a thoroughly dysfunctional family, told with dark humour, telling period detail and a love of language. Great entertainment. Terrific cover, too, if you're judging.
Have really enjoyed ‘Don’t Let’s Be Beastly to the Germans’ by @danielcowling pub’d by @BooksHoz Much has been written about 1945 & much about the revival of the FRG in the ‘50s but little about the British occupation of Germany 1945-49. This book corrects that in fine style.
Fight on, I’d say, if only to prove the point. Such charlatans mustn’t be allowed to get away with ripping people off.

And, I should add, an excellent read.
Here is my short review in the latest ed. of @countryandtown of Christopher Harding’s ‘Light of Asia’, pub’d by @AllenLaneBooks . It’s a mine of information about the hold the East exerts over the western imagination.
Here is my short review in @countryandtown of ‘How the World Made the West’ by @josephinequinn published by @BloomsburyBooks . It’s sweeping, wide-vision history which challenges many of our preconceptions about the origins of our civilisation.
Here is my short review in @countryandtown of #ToTheCity by @AChristieMiller published by @WmCollinsBooks I loved the book, a smooth blend of history & reportage which brings Istanbul’s troubled present and long past stirringly to life.
‘Sleeping Dog’ by @Dick_lochte is a riotously entertaining, subversive novel fizzing with quick-fire wit. Originally pub’d in 1985, @PenguinClassics repub’d it last year bringing it to the new readers it deserves. Here is my brief review of it in the latest @countryandtown.
‘Hard by a Great Forest’ by @L_Vardiashvili, published y’day by @BloomsburyBooks is a strikingly original first novel. I’d say it's one of the must-reads of 2024 and it’s only January. Here is my brief review of it in the latest ed. of @countryandtown. #HardByAGreatForest
Really enjoyed ‘The Vulnerables’ by Sigrid Nunez published by @ViragoBooks last week. Here is my brief review of it, published in the latest edition of @countryandtown It’s an enjoyable and thought-provoking addition to the growing canon of lockdown lit.
It’s well-deserved recognition, both for the sheer effort involved in walking 1,000 miles and for the quality of the resulting book.

I seem to be in a petition-signing frame of mind at the moment. Perhaps it’s a symptom of how much there now is in public life to get heated about.
I just signed the petition calling on Fujitsu to be held to account for their role in the Post Office scandal. Will you sign too? #PostOfficeScandal you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/hold… via @38degrees
I just signed the petition calling on Paula Vennells, the former CEO of the Post Office to be stripped of her CBE. Will you sign too? #MrBatesVSThePostOffice you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/stri… via @38degrees
I just signed the petition demanding Liz Truss's honours list is scrapped. 49 days of chaos in office should not justify her promoting her friends to a lifetime seat in the Lords. Will you sign too? 250k and counting.... you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/liz-… via @38degrees
I have had a bit of bibliophilic fun assembling a complete run - bar one - of the Bernie Gunther novels in Brit. 1st editions. The good news is that in most cases they cost about the same or less 2nd hand than they new. One day, who knows, the run may be worth something.

@richard_hopton Wolf. Then come back to them later, like Patrick O'Brian (who I reread about every three years).
Ah, but where is the beginning? The novels weren’t written in chronological order - so one can either read them in the order in which they were written or chronological order or, some other more random sequence. I’m going for the latter.
I have only recently come to Bernie Gunther but adore the novels. The good news is that as I’ve now read 6 of them, I’ve still got 8 waiting for me. The question is, should I ration myself to spin out the pleasure or just wolf them down?
