  • Presses like Fitcarraldo, Charco, 404 etc. are responsible for introducing me to some of the best reads I’ve had in recent hears, from authors like Jon Fosse, Olga Tokarczuk, Helen McClory and Selva Almada. I was introduced to the women in translation month through these publishers and it’s led to some of the most meaningful reads I’ve ever had. I therefore have a lot of love for many of these publishers and it’s fantastic to see so many of them making such an impact.






  • I’ve not read it to completion, but the YoRHa: Pearl Harbour Descent (depicting events leading up to NieR: Automata) is certainly very good. As an aside, the NieR: Automata light novels are excellent.

    If you’re in to your Yoko Taro there’s also several manga entries in the Drakenguard universe, but I don’t know these so well.

    There’s also a bunch of good adaptations of visual novels, like Danganropa and Steins;Gate, but I feel like I’m cheating a little by suggesting those!

    It’s not how it used to be that’s for sure. However, there was a T20 on BBC2 last night which turned out to be a great game, and the ashes has been weird but exciting to watch (let’s quietly not talk about the hundred shall we). The long overdue ICEC report has hopefully finally got it into the thick heads of various execs at the ECB, and local communities across the country, that the way the game in this country is run has to change. I’m hopeful of positive change in the next few years and I hope the game will become more accessible.
