Preorders are so important, and maybe more so for US books coming out around the election. Thanks for considering a preorder of Absolution from your favorite bookseller. Starred review in Publishers Weekly.

My forthcoming novel Absolution, in front of the St Marks lighthouse.

This felt especially relevant today

A panel of a Peanuts comic strip in which Linus turns to Lucy and says, “No one is going to give you the education you need to overthrow them.”

Still true: 1) If enough Black folk in swing states re-check their registration and sign up for mail-in voting, then Biden can't lose. 2) Dem party has spent more time, money, effort, and attention, trying to get Harris out of the Whitehouse, than it has registering Black voters in swing states.🤡

I'm just a boy. Standing in front of people who make best books of the century lists. Asking them to please realize that they are allowed to read graphic novels other than Fun Home and Persepolis.

My latest Guardian Books cartoon.

Panel One:
A sign reading 'Best Books for Summer' hangs above a table in a bookshop. An outraged book stands on the table and exclaims "Beach read? Moi!?"

Panels Two to Four:
The book strides across the table cabgrily explaining
"I am a harrowing journey into the long night of the soul!"
"I am the very antithesis of a holiday! I will consume you like a fever!"
"Good luck snoozing in the sun after I've shredded your bourgeois delusions and skewered your complacent hypocrisies."

Panel Five
the caption reads"However" and the image shows the booksitting on a soft towel on a sundrenched beach with a cool drink. It smiles ands says "Actually, this is quite nice."

I love the 1944 movie The Uninvited. A ghost story, it takes place in Cornwall, in a haunted house overlooking the sea. It ends with the cast back lit by the sun, rising over the sea behind them. I don't know how many times I watched it before I realized the sun was rising in the west!
