Skirky @doyoudoanywings.bsky.social · 02/10/2026My first reflection upon #thetraitors is that when it comes to a team-based task, you really need the limpid singer-songwriter and former tank commander @jamesblunt.com to assume command rather than, say, Jerry Hall.

Skirky @doyoudoanywings.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Read a review in the paper suggesting this fell somewhere between William Goldman and Joseph Heller and it was bang on. Then I found out he wrote the film script for Garp so we are firmly in Happy Place territory. It's terrific, and thank you to my local indie - Dial Lane Books - for sourcing it. 100 0
