Hello people. Just a quick one this week. Fresh from having conquered the youth market of Glasgow at the Aye Write festival, Rhodes is heading straight back out on tour. He’ll be in Oxford on 27th and 28th March (the weekend the clocks change – this catches him out every year but we’re sure his team of personal assistants will get him to the stage on time), and he’s set to read on the Friday (9th April) of the Laugharne Weekend in Carmarthenshire (5 o’clock at The Portreeve). The line-up is finally taking shape here, and it’s looking like another great year. Tons of writers, and musical highlights will include perennial Rhodes favourites Mark Olson and Richard James.
Then he’ll be in Aberdeen in May, with other dates to be added. The road goes on forever… Further details of all this kind of thing at the Readings page.
On to international news - Little Hands Clapping is being launched in Canada any minute now, and it’ll be coming out in (at least) Turkish, Finnish, Spanish, Danish and Italian. Further news of these translations when they’re imminent.
We’re all off to the airport now, to catch the next plane to Zürich and have a look at the best Dan Rhodes window display ever. Many thanks to Julia and everyone else at Orell Füssli for this – it’s a beauty.
Happy reading.
