At The Reading List, we’re trainspotters when it comes to interesting book links, and here are a number that caught our eye.

• This love-in between author Dan Hicks and … wait for it … MC HAMMER … is sending us.
• Don’t look now, but there’s an unseen work by Proust in the works. (More petites madeleines, anyone?)
• Oy. US poet Amanda Gorman’s Dutch translator, Marieke Lucas Rijneveld, who won a gigantic bloody prize not too long ago, withdrew from the translation project after a spot of social media uproar.
• Hey, a certain maverick publisher in South Africa has done a pretty damned good book deal on their first bestseller, Six Years with Al Qaeda by Stephen McGown.
• There’s a TikTok trend that involves a sound which begins, ‘Oh, I f*cked up…’ Probably what bestselling author Jacques Pauw thought to himself at some point during the last couple of weeks.
• What happened to Jordan Peterson? (Like, literally what happened to him.)
• Kill the book blurb and dance on its grave.
• Guernica has a new editor. It’s Jina Moore! She’s great 🙂

Pause for a moment and read some new poetry.

• And so, it’s March again.
