I wrote about this once before, but with this piece I’ll say it again: Agnieszka Holland, right alongside Iggy Pop, is one of the biggest fans of TT 🖤

1/ It’s not the end of Kafka-related news and I couldn’t have wished or imagined a better leap from Yale to Gdańsk. The wonderful Agnieszka Holland has received the Solidarity and Human Rights Award granted by the European Solidarity Centre.

I’ve arrived at Yale and will soon present the results of my year-long residency so far. But this project will continue, because in 2026 the literary part will be joined by musical and exhibition components. The premiere will take place in New Haven, London, and Gdańsk. More to come.

1/ This stay in Washington has been, in many ways, surprising for me, and the mix of the worlds of literature, universities, and music is simply wonderful. I already wrote about meeting Ian MacKaye, but, as it happened, Iggy Pop came to Washington.

Our Grzegorz just visited Dischord House and Ian MacKaye. Big thanks to Ian for the great vibe, great time, and great stories 🖤

This is what my temporary Washington street looks like. This is what my temporary Washington home looks like. And everything would be beautiful if not for the National Guard on the streets.

George Saunders sent me to the beautiful Oak Hill Cemetery in Washington, where the action of his wonderful book Lincoln in the Bardo takes place, and where Lincoln’s beloved son Willie rested for three years.

‘Franz’ Review: Agnieszka Holland’s Freewheeling Kafka Biopic Is Playful and Moving

Premiering at TIFF, the 'Green Border' director's non-chronological feature views the Czech-German-Jewish writer's life as if through a crystal prism.

Not every day you find your band in The Hollywood Reporter.

Honored our music is part of Agnieszka Holland’s Kafka.

Go, go, go FRANZ!

Trupa Trupa - Jolly New Songs

Our second collaboration with the mighty Trupa Trupa, this time a joint release with a French label, rather than a Blue Tape proper.

There's not much between Jolly New Songs and their classic 2015 album Headache.
