@praddenkeefe.bsky.socialAs a big fan of the gorgeous special editions of the Folio Society, I'm so delighted that they've added my book SAY NOTHING to the collection. It's available today, beautifully illustrated, with an introduction by the great Paul Muldoon. @foliosociety.bsky.social www.foliosociety.com/usa/say-noth...
@praddenkeefe.bsky.socialVery sad to learn of the death of Frances Stoner Saunders, whose extraordinary book Who Paid the Piper was a big touchstone for my podcast Wind of Change. They're reissuing the book this year. Seek it out. www.theguardian.com/books/2026/s...
@praddenkeefe.bsky.socialI always look forward to the Baillie Gifford nominations because the prize spotlights so much great nonfiction, so it's a thrill to see London Falling on this year's longlist, alongside my brilliant colleague Anand Gopal and so many other fantastic books. 🙏 🙏

@doubledaybooks.bsky.socialReposted by @praddenkeefe.bsky.social"I dedicated “London Falling” to my parents because it’s very much a book about parents and children, so I thought a lot about my own parents as I was writing it, and about my children — the vagaries of raising a child." @praddenkeefe.bsky.social on LONDON FALLING. www.linkedin.com/pulse/patric...

@evaholland.bsky.socialReposted by @praddenkeefe.bsky.socialSometimes I like to match up my reading with my location. Other times I tear through @praddenkeefe.bsky.social’s latest, the phenomenal LONDON FALLING, in a place about as far from oligarchs and violence and urban intrigue as you can get:
@praddenkeefe.bsky.socialI am so glad to hear this -- and moderately envious as the father of two sons who both seem impervious to my own encouragement in this department -- thank you!
