Loved working with Broken Hearted Youth on my new monologue White Light, exploring mad conspiracy theories, masculinity, growing up online, and daring to ask the question - why can't a neglected 14 year old have a massive red Lamborghini? We're headlining SE Fest next weekend, come down

Our brother Antony passed suddenly on 16th Sept last year. It took almost 3 wks for the coroners to take blood samples. It then took 3 mnths to analyse them. Synthetic opioids degrade quickly in the blood and as these delays are normal, many deaths will be being missed. We miss our brother.

Commodified fantasy takes no risks: it invents nothing, but imitates and trivializes. It proceeds by depriving the old stories of their intellectual and ethical complexity, turning their truth-telling to sentimental platitude.

Hadn't realised lots of trusts were no longer prescribing gluten-free food for coeliac kids. My son is coeliac and his food is so much more expensive. We don't get on prescription because we can afford it but for a family in poverty that's a massive issue. www.independent.co.uk/news/health/...

I've watched this book emerge from the most painful experience of my friend Sam's life to become a moving and profound meditation on the human experience. London launch Thursday 2nd October at Ink 84, 6.30pm. Oxford, I'm in conversation with Sam at Caper Books on Mon 6th October, 7.30pm!

Front cover of Sam Sussman's novel Boy From the North Country.

That text overlaid in white (title) and yellow (author name) over a pastel image of a child hugging his mother. The boy's face is deep in her shoulder.

Tour dates for Sam's book tour.

UK dates are the ones in the post. The rest have passed, aside from LA dates on 8th October (6pm LA public library, in conversation with Jean Guerrero).

Image of the novel and black and white image of Sam Sussman, looking like Bob Dylan in black and white, make the header, which reads Sam Sussman on tour, Penguin Press.
