I raced through the first 100 pages of @fancyeliza’s Boy Parts at dinner last night, and finished it on my flight to Dublin this morning. It is absolutely incredible, and I cannot wait to rave about it more in July, when it comes out and I will make everyone I know read it. Thank you for the proof @jordtaylorjones / @influxpress 😘 Boy Parts follows Irina after she’s put on sabbatical from her bar job, and her increasing sense of disassociation from the reality around her. A photographer, she hands her card out to random men she meets, inviting them to her studio to model for her. The more she’s left on her own, in her bleached-clean apartment, the more her version of the truth shifts away from her, the more her stories start to unravel. I LOVED Eliza’s writing; her characters inhabit their scenes so BODILY. They sweat and bruise and hurt. They’re flawed and broken, in so many different ways. But I snort-laughed at her choices of similie more than once, and despite some of the content having the potential to veer into voyeuristic violence, nothing felt unnecessary or glamorised. I’ll be back with more thoughts when I’ve processed them. If you’ve read this already, jump into my DMs.
I love @theospizzeria, AND I got to sit next to a dog called Peanut! 🍕 . . . . . #theos #theospizzeria #elephantandcastle #pizza #foodstagram #london #londonlife #londoners #southlondon #pizzaparty
“Joan Didion at a startup.” When I spotted Uncanny Valley in a charity shop (already! I know!) I snapped it up. It’s pacey and well written, and Anna Weiner’s blunt honesty gives a fascinating insight into the tech startup industry at its height. . . . . . #igreads #bookstagram #bookish #booklover #bookflatlay #books #reading #reads #readstagram #uncannyvalley #annaweiner #4thestatebooks

I just finished Anna Hope’s Expectation (pop into my DMs if you’ve read it, because I loved it and want to chat), and I wanted some non-fiction next so I can stay in Hope’s London Fields for a bit longer. So! Continuing my Australian-themed weekend, I’m starting Bruce Pascoe’s Dark Emu, which I bought at @readingsbooks and have been saving, because I’ve heard SO MANY great things about it. Will update once I’m done, but the bit I’ve read so far this afternoon has been eye-opening. . . . . . . . #bookstagram #bookish #bookworm #bibliophile #igreads #reads #reading #readings #igreaders #readingsmelbourne #australia #australianhistory #australianwriting #indigenouswriting #aboriginal #aboriginalaustralia #books #huntergatherer #darkemu #brucepascoe
Incredible bushfire fundraising dinner at @breaudreygraham’s second Eat For Australia event last night — she’s raised more than $800 for @wireswildliferescue and @nswrfs 💕
