Shopping, US copies of A Kind of Intimacy, reading, cake, pictures of all us lot, special red nursing chair, blackberry yoghurt.

Also:

'The beautiful, provocative prose and dangerous, quirky protagonist mark Ashworth as a writer to watch'

which comes from the US mag Publishers Weekly, where A Kind of Intimacy is currently the Pick of the Week.  (plot spoilers in link)

  1. Oooh, is that a Thai cushion cover in the top right picture?

    I've been meaning to come by to say that I read A Kind of Intimacy last week on holiday and absolutely loved it. Very unsettling but funny too.

  2. It is thai, but it's a tablecloth. I bought it from ebay from a thai woman who'd used it at her wedding and didn't need any more. It doesn't match with anything else in the room but I love it.

    Thanks for your comments about the book - so glad that you liked it. Did you get the UK or the US version?

  4. Thanks Brian. I don't think it's officially out until June, but loads of ARCs have gone out and I've got a load of them too. Very exciting! The best things come to those who wait...
