πI don't often get sentimental about my work, but today when I went up to the doorman at @shakespeareandcoparis and told him I was expected, he said "Ah, c'est vous l'Γ©crivain?" Which was... Un Moment!! Thank you to Flora & everyone there for a wonderful visit π
πThere's now about 5 copies of my book Twelve Percent Dread at the shop with very special Parisian doodles in them - snap them up if you can!
πOtherwise the book is available at all good book retailers, online and in store. I don't sell it in my personal shop because it is GIANT and would cost me like β¬20 to post it. If you want a signed copy...um I will try and visit more bookshops!! Invite me!! Xxxx (at Shakespeare and Company)

George Whitman, Allen Ginsberg , & Lawrence Ferlinghetti at Shakespeare and Co bookstore, Paris, December 1982. George and Lawrence met eachother while studying at the Sorbonne in Paris in 1948, & became lifelong friends. Both opened stores within a few short years.

How did we never google the name? When I read βthe garish sunβ in @shakespeareandcoparis #Shakespeare #RomeoAndJuliet my mind π€―π±π€© that stunning definition is spot on, vivid, bright, and showy.

Hommage to one of the most remarkable, influential bookshops in Paris (and, arguably, in the world) : Shakespeare & Co, a left-bank institution for travelers, expats and ordinary Parisians since the 1920βs. Please remember to buy your books from small, independent bookshops, they very much need your support ! #drawing #reading #bookshops #bookstores #independentbookstore #shakespeareandcompany @shakespeareandcoparis #literature #paris #realbooks #landmark #supportyourlocalbookstore (at Ile-de-France, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIK3PKthOZa/?igshid=2jqjifsgagih

"π·ππ ππ ππππ, πππ πππ ππ πππππ; πππππ πππ ππππππππππ ππππ πππππ ππ πππ ππππ ππ πππ πππππ." - Voltaire π·π·π·π·π·π·π· Happy World Book Day, fellow readers! Today, I was lucky enough to (by which, I mean 'avoided adult responsibility long enough to') finish 'Jamiaca Inn' in the cool morning air, and later start Baudelaire's 'The Flowers of Evil' under indoor darkness. In 2 out of the 2 poems I've read thus far, Baudelaire has painted images of dancing women, which brought this Voltaire quote to mind. I read it, years ago, on a paper bag from @shakespeareandcoparis (which I have kept to this day), that has also (along with any bookshop I have ever loved) been on my mind today π€. As I do not, without searching, know the source of the quote, I will instead recommend Voltaire's 'Candide' (1759). It has been years (a decade?!) too, since I read it, but I still name it amongst my favourites. I fail to recall any gothic elements within it, but I think, now more than ever, a blasphemous little satirical comedy can be excused! π€: What are you reading today, and which texts are amongst your wild card, off-brand favourites? . #generallygothic #gothic #worldbookday #worldbookday2020 #shelfie #bookshelf #bookcase #voltaire #candide #frenchliterature #paris #baudelaire #charlesbaudelaire #classicliterature #bookshop #bookstore #shakespeare #shakespeareandcompany #satire #jamaicainn #gothicnovel #englishliterature #bookstagram #spookynerd #darkacadmiaaesthetic #darkacademia #typewriter #daphnedumaurier #darkpoetics #readersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B_WI2MxgEKf/?igshid=j7kew8gfkaa2
