Fantastic workshop tonight in Derry with students from the Lycée Français de Madrid school. They’ve used Guard Your Heart as a novel to learn about Northern Ireland - and even visited places in the book on their tour here! (Most excellent goody bag too…)

Pensaba que ya no me podía caer mejor David Trueba y resulta que me equivocaba 🥹
En su última entrevista para @elcultural.com, David Trueba dice que le ha gustado mucho «Leonard y Hungry Paul» de @ronanhession.bsky.social. Fue nuestro primer libro de 2025 y uno de nuestros favoritos del catálogo. Lo tradujo con todo el acierto del mundo @wheekerbooks.bsky.social ❤️📚

Delighted to reveal the beautiful cover of my next novel, Few and Far Between designed by the brilliant Irene Martinez Costa. Proofs are arriving next week. Preorders open now. Can’t believe I sat down 20 years ago to have a stab at writing a short story and now I have nine books in the world.

I couldn’t count how many times Literature Ireland has been there for me, supporting my writing, listening, encouraging and being a home from home. Endlessly grateful. Swung by their swanky new set up at Frankfurt Book Fair today and caught the team working hard to promote Irish writing

Alex Lawther and Jamie-Lee O’Donnell star in this adaptation of Rónán Hession’s understated 2019 novel. Its quiet celebration of the gentle life is the opposite of today’s frantic TV – even if it does feature a Hollywood megastar’s voice

Beautiful evening at the Ulster Museum with an audience for a special screening of the first two episodes of Leonard and Hungry Paul. Delighted with the reaction. Thanks so much to BBC Northern Ireland for all the support. They really championed this and made it happen.

This Michael Longley poem (my 2nd favourite) is often misread as the end of the conflict.
But even getting to the point of cessation requires courage.
Hoping the current cessation in Gaza has more longevity than Longley's Troy

It's a great day to remember how important a translator like @ottiliemulzet.bsky.social is for those of us who can only read in English.
Without her superb translations, we would have missed so much of the great work of László Krasznahorkai.

I often think of the Irish word for the environment – comhshaol, meaning "shared life," which I think captures the interconnectedness at the heart of environmental sustainability.
The first letter is beith, meaning birch. There’s dair meaning oak, coll, meaning hazel, and so on.
The word for photography, grianghrafadóireacht, literally means to make a chart of the sun.
