My book, AMERICAN MEN, is out today. It's an intimate, immersive work of narrative nonfiction that interweaves the stories of four vastly different men, grappling with their relationship to masculinity. I'd love for you to read it.

In the state of Wyoming in the USA lies a real hydrological oddity. It's a small stream (creek) that is thought to be the only one of very few examples in the world. It is placed so precariously and perfectly that it's hard to believe it is able to exist. 1/n
@HugoGye @jamespriceglos Thank you so much! Very glad you enjoyed it

I try to avoid being melodramatic about cultural decline. Then I read that, when the BBC adapted Anthony Trollope’s Palliser novels in 1974, the Radio Times published an *84* page illustrated special on its historical context. Unimaginable today.
Alex Starritt retweeted
Times obituaries are meant to be anonymous, but this is so good I need to boast that it was written by my father, Magnus Linklater, who has penned hundreds of such mini-biographies over the years, but few as important to Scottish culture as this one. thetimes.com/uk/obituaries/…

So. Finished this last night and still unable to articulate HOW much I loved this book. I feel bereft. An exquisite portrait of humanity and friendship. Utterly authentic. It’s my entire career too. So so glad @icod tweeted 👇🏻 Outstanding @StarrittAlex
