I don’t have the right words for how hyped or excited about this news: @RoughTradeBooks will be publishing “In The End, It Was All About Love”, my book about Berlin. Love, grief, memory, sexuality and more. More details below; if of interest, please share.

(Re: the above tweet: for anyone who has read "The Ungrateful Country", my essay in #TheGoodImmigrant, my book about #Berlin begins immediately after the end of that essay, and takes all of those themes forward.)

A very quick story. Many months ago, long before @RoughTradeBooks read “In The End, It Was All About Love” and offered me a book deal, I posted its opening chapter on Instagram. Nathan Thornburgh of @RoadsKingdoms enjoyed it so much that he asked for the whole manuscript; and -

- despite the book not yet having a publisher, he insisted on doing a whole episode of #TheTripPodcast about it. So, after he had read the whole thing, we made some Moscow Mules, sat down and talked about my book and about Berlin. You can listen here:

If you enjoy the podcast, please keep an eye out as you’ll be able to pre-order “In The End, It Was All About Love” in a little while. Will keep your posted. (And a big thank you to @dayzeyed for her illustration of this episode.)
