Just finished this The Horse’s Mouth by Joyce Cary, a book I would never have heard of without @backlisted.bsky.social. I listened to the episode again (+Max Porter) when I was about halfway through. A quite brilliant read - the language, the humour and the character that is Gulley Jimson.

My reading these days is 50% Backlisted inspired - the books themselves or a recommendation on Locklisted.
Coincidentally this came to the top of the pile two weeks ago. A quite wonderful read!
And as it turned out, I finished it 10 years to the day after the first show. @backlisted.bsky.social

Caught up the Shelagh Delaney episode of @backlisted.bsky.social today - a wonderful listen (still getting over the ITV interview 😮)
This podcast is consistently excellent - warmth and wisdom and such breadth.
The accompanying Locklisted pod (via Patreon) is a bi-weekly treat. Thank you 🙏
