If you want to know why I love Tom Cox's writing so much, this is an excellent example of what he does. In a single piece, we get writing about place, about the act of writing, about people and folklore, all opening up windows on and avenues through a bigger, more expansive world of possibilities. It's delicious.

Iโ€™m very excited about Tom Coxโ€™s new book because I am only a little bit older than him and vividly remember the 1980s

Hilarious, poignant, brilliant piece by Tom Cox on Substack.

Darren the editor is my favourite. Iโ€™ve flown like that in dreams.

With surreal modern scarecrow photos.

Currently reading The Villager by Tom Cox. Being a villager myself Iโ€™m enjoying the quirks of village life highlighted in the book, which to be honest I think is quite normal behaviour ๐Ÿ˜‚

I do wish this favourite writer was here on Mastodon Iโ€™m sure he would enjoy the company.

Tom writes - โ€œI've written something new today. It's about suffering a bit with the darkness at this time of year. It's also about the Cornish landscape, railways, a cat, the Kinks, Kool Keith and an owl. So, everything, really.

I'd be delighted if you gave it a read. โ€œ
