Adult Dahl fiction may have fallen out of favour however much his children books remain evergreen. I thought the same of Iain M Banks sci-fi as Elmore Leonard. People just like them too much to part with them.

"Corporations have successfully shaped policies in their interest, creating a pathological system. This means that consequences of climate change are mainly paid for by governments and the individuals affected and not the industries causing the crisis in the first place."

Just started dipping in to Elmore Leonard for the first time and it is as good as I hoped. Penguin have just added three of his to their classic crime series

What a shame but what a legacy Bragg leaves. So who would you want to take over (not who you think will).
How about @profaliceroberts.bsky.social ?
