Liz Stroud's Tell Me Everything is OK. But with her new #TheThingsWeNeverSay shortlisted for the #BookerPrize I have to ask: Why do the same authors get accolades over+over, while some #Greatbooks are ignored. It upsets me. #writingcommunity #books #politicallyincorrect

I’ve read almost all @lizstrout.bsky.social novels and am very familiar with her characters, so it’s lovely to have some new ones in #TheThingsWeNeverSay
Artie Dam is fascinating and the novel is both heartbreaking and uplifting. (And more directly political)
