Delighted to see @Glen_J_Brown's radical and ludic Mother Naked on the shortlist for the Republic of Consciousness Prize 🃏
Congratulations to @PressPeninsula for
“Set in the fifth century & narrated by an irrepressible bard called Mother Naked, this novel is bawdy, funny & tragic. The voice of Mother Naked is entirely authentic. Both an entertaining read & a serious work of historical fiction.”

Shocked by Israeli forces' raid on East Jerusalem's Educational Bookshop—an intellectual lighthouse and family-run gem resisting Palestinian erasure under apartheid.
Internationals in Jerusalem: please show up, stand with the Muna family, and protect this vital hub. Don't leave them alone!

Congratulations to @PressPeninsula fo being long listed for the 2025 Republic of Consciousness Prize for Small Presses
🖤The genius of The Visitor lies in [Brennan’s] refusal, as an artist, to paint a tale in black and white. While her characters may be selfish, cruel, frivolous or snobbish, there’s always something on the other side. A pain, an insult, a wound, a grief🖤

quite the enticing delivery today.
might just simultaneously read all three because frankly i don’t know where to start.
thank you @PressPeninsula, you have done it again.
American Genius, A Comedy is a ‘captivating, strange novel’ narrated by ‘a postmodern successor to such endearingly digressive women as Winnie from Beckett’s Happy Days or Joyce’s Molly Bloom.’ 🖤
