Seriously though, after listening to this episode you'll want to read not just Gaining Ground but also @regretteruane.bsky.social's new novel Birding, plus dig out your old copy of The Holy Bible (Manics album, not confirmation present.) www.backlisted.fm/episodes/215...
I bet I'm about to have the weirdest dream. You and John will be cackling like hyenas, 'Good luck keeping up with buying every book we rave about on Backlisted!'
Then, boom! You're both swallowed by a spooky fog machine malfunction.
Thank you. There’s an ebook available at least. (FWIW I have always felt that if a guest cares enough to choose a particular book, we mustn’t worry about its current availability. And sometimes a book reappears in print because we have featured it, creating an audience who will buy it.)
Oh no! That’s a shame. My library was able to get me The Bloater before it was republished and has the Barfoot book too. Fingers crossed for a new publisher to pick it up soon then. Who do we need to cajole and pester about this?
