Delighted I'm returning to @bozzybookfest.bsky.social next weekend. Chairing several events @sarasheridan.bsky.social Juano Diaz & Charlie English, I'm also discussing my book Joshua in the Sky with @msmeghanbean.bsky.social ↘️↘️↘️. Whose life gets to be remembered, when we record real lives? And how?
