@daveawl.bsky.social will be on the upcoming episode of YMIS, which drops January 19th, to talk about HIS most interesting story... which does indeed involve Russell Hoban. Stay tuned! #RussellHoban #Hoban100 #truestories #turtlediary #RiddleyWalker
Some bookish fun for 2025: an international group of readers/scholars are planning a slate of events in February to celebrate what would have been the 100th birthday of Russell Hoban (author of novels like Riddley Walker & Turtle Diary, plus a slew of classic children’s books). Stay tuned! #Hoban100
