It is one of the few things I've written my wife likes. She would like to see me work it into a screenplay.

Thank you for this splendid edition of the Chronicle. It sparkles with ideas and revelations and that special Hookland sense of recognition and the half-remembered.

The Far Ends is so evocative of a time and a place. It takes me back to my childhood and the demolition site we were forbidden to play in, but did anyway. After half an hour of poking about in the empty, rubble strewn rooms, we were unaccountably filled with panic and a sense that we should not be there. We ran and never went back. Never talked of it afterwards.

I am very moved by Notes from the Wyrd Lab. There really is a need for working class voices to be heard when it comes to the writing of place and you do this with grace and tenderness.

For me Hookland certainly is “a pathway to revelatory joy”.

Thank you again.
