I’m spending more time conversing with Holly Sykes than her husband these days! This conversation, just published by The Hooghly Review, is called Judging Books Judging Us – Art, Memoir, And The Books That Read Us. It was inspired by Holly’s substack, Beyond the Book Cover firing rockets into my neurodivergent brain and getting me unhealthily fixated on the concept of books reading us. There is treatment, according to my psychiatrist, but it’ll cost me…

My other conversation with Holly about mapping loss and loneliness in a crowded city was one of two columns published by Cha: An Asian Literary Journal on Saturday and can be found here.
The Writer’s Gauntlet will be back in The Hooghly Review on Thursday (with a Friday reprint in Buzz.) Who will be the latest intrepid writer to brave my Gauntlet? This gets harder and harder to decide as there are now a mind-boggling number of subs to choose from!
Thanks to Ankit, co-editor of The Hooghly Review, for the kind comment on X.
