Book review: Christopher and His Kind 1929–1939 by Christopher Isherwood

My thoughts on this 1976 memoir that revisits the source material for Goodbye to Berlin/Cabaret. A fascinating slice of history from a slightly different perspective

Book review: Christopher and His Kind 1929–1939 by Christopher Isherwood | Nose in a book

"They were a gossipy, inquisitive, hospitable bunch of individualists, always on the lookout for new ears into which to whisper their elderly scandals.”

So I love that someone created a list of the books Isaac reads in Heartstopper but I can't help noticing it's incomplete (he's definitely reading The Little Prince in one episode). Would there be interest in me compiling a complete version?

Book review: Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield

A thoughtful novel about love, loss and...deep-sea monsters?

Book review: Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield | Nose in a book

"The deep sea is a haunted house: a place in which things that ought not to exist move about in the darkness."

Book review: Neon Roses by Rachel Dawson

In which I attempt to articulate why I loved this novel about a young person figuring out they're queer against a backdrop of the 1984/85 miners strike in South Wales

Book review: Neon Roses by Rachel Dawson | Nose in a book

"The streets are deserted. No money to be out these days. People their age used to hire a minibus to take them down to Swansea every few weekends. It was always carnage, the aisle running with sick on the way home. She still craves it."

I'm #CurrentlyReading The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett, about identical twins who run away from home in the 1950s and end up living very different lives. An unexpected detail: the novel draws a parallel between a Black woman passing as white and a trans man. Fascinating and very compelling story
