And #bookpost is Excavatum by @thispersona.bsky.social - it’s 1953. There’s three priests. There’s a boat. There’s a wayward sea captain. There’s a quest. It’s an odyssey. All at sea? You will be, if you buy this book. I recommend that you do. amzn.eu/d/0e9QijbB

The book on a rug. It has a blue cover. A crude pen and ink drawing of a boat at sea containing three priests and a wayward sea captain.

My book explores how a British working class which was powerfully grounded in politics, the economy and culture has been unmade since the 1960s. An Injury to All is due for publication next year!
