Hungary 1, The Rest of the World 0

Three excellent things have happened:

1. Hungary has won the global race to get Marry Me into the shops. Our friends at Athenaeum have published their edition already, under the title Elvehetlek feleségül? (Will You Marry Me?). And very nice it looks too, all in black:

2. The first review of the British edition has come in – and it’s a beauty. The Observer‘s Kate Kellaway is an early contender for our coveted Reviewer of the Year Award. In fact, this might just be the best review of anything ever. Normally we would pull out a quote or two, but this one is such a masterpiece that it seems wrong to chop it to bits. Read it here.

3. Magnificently, Aiden Moffatt has been filmed reading two of the stories from Rhodes’ new book. Here he is with Stick:

And Two:

Aiden’s new record with Bill Wells is brilliant. You can buy it here.

Happy reading

Summary of deleted post:

Rhodes announces an exhausting one-date world tour to mark the publication of his new book, Marry Me. It was at Book Slam at the Clapham Grand on Thursday 7th February, alongside Aiden Moffat, the Dirty Great Love Story people and Tim Key. It went very well.

We recommend the pilot episode of Bakersfield PD. Here it is. Nobody watches it.
