MALCOLM'S FAVOURITE SITES

Diamond Geezer - When you're tired of reading Diamond Geezer on London, you're tired of life. There's not much on the Great Wen's passing show that this intrepid East Londoner doesn't notice.

Petite Anglaise - Like many people I've got caught up in the life and loves of this young English woman resident in Paris. Smell the (French) coffee and imagine you're sitting in an atmospheric Belleville café too …

The New Yorker - If you're ever feeling a little low click onto the world's most sophisticated magazine and find yourself in the heart of downtown Manhattan.

Translated Fiction - Contrary to what too many British publishers believe there's so much fantastic writing in translation. Do check out this wonderful site's Cities in Translation booklist.

I Love German Books - Lots of lovely stuff about German books and life in Berlin from an incredibly talented young English translator. The only problem is you want to read everything she writes about!

Dutch Literature Foundation - For such a small country the Netherlands has so many amazing writers and promotes them brilliantly. This site gives you a wonderful taster with well-known authors like Cees Nooteboom and Geert Mak but also some amazing younger writers.
