This! And it’s soooo good; Lars Horn was one of the instructors in the Kenyon Review CNF workshop I got accepted to this last June, and he was wonderful. His mom was an artist, and she used to photograph him as a child in the bath with, like, dead squid and stuff!

Um. He’s from CHI-town, people:

When you’re back in your old neighbourhood
Cigarettes taste so good
But you’re so misunderstood



I know you’ve got a God shaped hole
Bleeding out your heart full of soul
You’re so misunderstood



I’d like to thank you all for nothing…
Nothing at all.

Tagging @al-mutaghatris.bsky.social as he recommended this for a first time reader of Naguib Mahfouz, and it was a banger! Also the main character has the same first name as my father, fun fact. Though my dad never smoked kif in his water pipe…

When you add an image to a Bluesky post, there’s a prompt to add text to an image so that screen readers for the visually impaired can communicate what is visible, in text. But this can also aid someone who is not blind.

Picked this up recently; I’m sad to say I didn’t know anything about Sonallah Ibrahim before his recent passing, and this is the funniest, sharpest, most engaging novel I’ve read all year. A wryly sardonic sort of humour; I’ve cackled aloud several times and I’m barely at 40 pages. A master.
