Thomas Mann’s books fall out of copyright (UK/EU) next month, which means - new editions and translations!
Here are two from Pushkin Press: Death in Venice, and three stories (Tonio Kröger, Disorder and Early Sorrow, and Mario and the Magician). All translated by Lesley Chamberlain.

Fentanyl. Drug Overdoses, including Fentanyl, are not even in the top 20 causes of death in the USA. Cancer, Diabetes, Covid, Heart Disease all in the top 10, and all have had their research funding cut. They aren't murdering just Venezuelans. However they are killing us much slower.

I have said before and will say again that it is such a loss that we no longer get covers of this caliber for fantasy books.
This art is by Jean-Léon Huens. These covers are for the Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander. They lit my imagination on fire as a kid.

When I first heard this in 1993 I knew instantly this wasn’t just a song (or an album for that matter), this was a transcendent experience. The definition of soul for me. And that subtle guitar is perfection with her stunning voice.

I can recommend watching the Granada Holmes adaptations with the text in front of you. Whole sections exactly the same. Interesting tweaks in other places which are often improvements.
Watching *and* reading ‘The Solitary Cyclist’ by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It strikes me that this has something of the feel of a ghost story – perhaps partly because the Granada adaptation has something of Lawrence Gordon Clark about it.
