LookIngo forward to reading a little extract from my friend Fionnuala’s novel at the launch on Thursday. It is indeed darkly funny.

I would like to invite you to my book launch on May 7th, 18.30, at Metis Books Berlin! It's for my novel about a Berlin Integrationskurs, and the different kinds of loneliness you can experience when you move to a new city. It's also darkly funny social commentary. Hope to see you there! :)

My essay, Redundancy is a Feeling, was published yesterday. Millenials, Slack and dating app users may relate. I suggest listening to Black Eyed Peas I Gotta Feeling as you read. ikeepmyshadowlight.substack.com/p/redundancy...
