Happy to hear Underland resonated! The film adaptation is out there now, dir. Rob Petit & co-produced by Darren Aronofsky. A very different creature to the book, but richly and strangely so.

A mighty kind message to find here — thanks, AV! Is A River Alive? begins exactly where Underland ends.

Of course, Els. Hell of an image, that. The word is “landskein”, which carries a sense of weaving in that “skein”. It was told to me by a painter I met on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides in the early 2010s.

Ahhhh! Thanks, Nick. I think TDIR may just become a favourite — and as for Luke’s extraordinary copper-plate etchings…

Thank you for taking the book’s journey(s). I am very happy to hear it’s resonating. As for UKLG: she saw so much, so clearly, so early, right? An immense thinker-writer. Not that she needed or probably the Nobel, but she sure should have won it.
