    A number of spot fires are burning in the vicinity of Bredbo and spreading quickly. The Monaro Highway remains closed. People in the area should seek shelter as the fire approaches.

    Maybe it was always going to be this one that was left, waiting for me in an airport bookshop, as Applied Ballardianism draws to a close.

    This is a spectacularly weird take. How exactly are authors "limited"? Why be on social media if you can't handle engaging with readers? There's been a lot of this lately, authors policing how readers should dare to approach them (also, how authors should use social media)...

    Of course, this is truly amazing, but easily able to be detected as a deep fake, since De Niro doesn't have that many facial expressions in his repertoire...

    TERRIFYING: This is how quickly a can overrun you. Within three minutes, fire crews at Shoalhaven in NSW, go from setting up for property protection to fleeing for their lives due to a change of wind. Always have your bushfire survival plan ready.

    Just a lazy Sunday in a messy Japanese apartment... when suddenly the Shimmer starts destabilizing the fabric of reality 🤷‍♂️

    These silver dribbles? They’re solid metal. The heat from the fire at Yowrie literally melted the bottom out of this car. Glass has melted too... that means temps of around 1400 degrees. It’s difficult to fathom.

    It's an uncanny but exhilarating feeling when yr book gets translated & you watch it catch fire in a language you don't speak. Its like someone has taken control of yr body & you're along for the ride. A true parallel universe. Lucky for me, Luciano Funetta is a great translator!

    For me, the biggest difference between how it's been received in Italy and how it's gone down in the UK and US is that in Italy there seems less suspicion of the book's form, that is, the 'theory fiction' conceit... in fact, it's rarely commented on...

    Mostly, the book (translated as Ballardismo Applicato) has had an awesome reception in Italy. Positive reviews in major newspapers & radio shows, events & presentations to discuss the themes (featuring the publisher, Valerio, & translator, Luciano), with more to come. Thx, Italy!

    "All seasoned with deadly cocktails with a guaranteed buzz, repeated assaults on academic respectability and merciless scenes of violence that he himself is also a victim of..." 🥰

    I'm appreciative, because he articulates what I wanted to achieve with this book: "It's a memoir, a travel diary from one point to another on the planet, from one corner of the mind to another. An act of love, a desperate confession, from cosmic control, to mutations, to ghosts."
