If you need to be not only awake, but also as sharp-witted as you can for an intercontinental interview starting at midnight prompt, I warmly recommend slurping down one centiliter (no more, no less) of good cognac.
.

And I think we did better than well! Thank you so much @aledgy for leading the conversation with such an inspiration.

Today is the pub day of My Friend Natalia, and The New York Times published a great review of it! ”Sly, intriguing”! 🔥💖🔥
.

”The deeper, indeed more layered, mystery is, it emerges, the novel’s chimerical narrator”, writes Hermione Hoby. And I might agree!

This time, maybe more than ever, writing felt like calligraphic meditation. Lithuanian language seems and feels to me enchantingly uncanny!
