Just think: there was a time when the man who wrote The Hustler – acclaimed, noir-ish novel about shooting (and sharking) pool – could also write the sci-fi classic, The Man Who Fell To Earth, and no-one gave him shit about his literary 'career arc'.

#FinishedReading this book on chess and substance abuse, which resonates in my household because my 12yo is getting into the former. It's beautifully written but very much a sports story so avoid if lovingly detailed descriptions of chess games doesn't sound like fun to you. The Netflix adaptation, which I saw last year, is extremely faithful. #Bookstodon @bookstodon #WalterTevis

I’ve just been sent the new graphic novel adaptation of The Man Who Fell To Earth from Titan Comics.

It looks gorgeous and I am looking forward to reading it.
