I’ve completed this year’s longlist. It’s a strong one and don’t envy the judges whittling them down to 6, but if forced to I’d go: On Earth As It is Beneath; The Wax Child; Taiwan Travelogue; She Who Remains; The Witch; and The Deserters

The @charcopress.com bundle reveal is a highlight of the literary calendar. What a brilliant line up, old favourites (delighted in particular to see Padma Viswanathan translating the first of Ana Paula Maia's “trilogia do fim”) alongside exciting new names. Delighted to resubscribe.

This was another wonderfully distinctive book from Honford Star - "its encyclopedic style and penchant for weirdness" is a perfect tagline!

I've completed the @usrofc.bsky.social Republic of Consciousness Prize, US & Canada longlist. Fantastic selection by the judges and don't envy them having to choose a shortlist. But given they have to, I've forced myself to do so - and my 5 would be:
