Someone else shared this with me recently - it's amazing!
Nick HuntJul 26, 2023

"Behind Hunt’s ambitiously constructed reality, Red Smoking Mirror is essentially a straight-up novel of intrigue, full of shadowy secrets, cloak-and-dagger politics and intimate betrayals ... it offers a dark, half-obscured reflection of reality."

A lovely review of my debut novel in the Financial Tumes: https://www.ft.com/content/c2407281-adbe-42e8-b01b-1d855b1415b4

Graham, what a beautiful and generous response to my novel! It sounds like you really got it. I couldn't have asked for better feedback. Thanks so much! I'm delighted.

I took this book slowly, as you might sip a cup of xocolatl. It heightens the senses, is almost hallucinogenic. You hear the chirp of the cricket, scent the lake, feel the rumble of the volcano. Moslems, Mexicans, and the Jewish narrator wonder at one another's cultures and I did too. I've read space operas that were less alien and also less human. Finally, the plot is a mystery slowly revealed with satisfying logic. It deserves a big audience, and they deserve it.

With extreme heat raging in the south of Europe, here's my piece about hiking on Aletsch, the greatest glacier in the Alps – now going the way of all glaciers in this age of climate change. 'Last-chance tourism', or something else? For Guardian Travel

I walked the Alps’ largest glacier. It felt like ‘last-chance tourism’

A trek on the Aletsch glacier in Switzerland’s Bernese Alps is dazzling, but also a stark example of the damage caused by global warming

What if Ferdinand and Isabella had failed, Columbus hadn't sailed, and Andalusian Moors had prevailed? I've often wondered, so I'm looking forward to starting this alternative timeline set in Spain and Mexico.
