Gabriel García Márquez’s two sons disregarded their father's wishes not to publish his last work of fiction posthumously, but judging by the reaction to "Until August", they perhaps should have listened to him. Reviews of the book, which was published ten years after García Márquez’s death in 2014, have veered from being barely kind to others which said it did have a few merits. However, despite the generally bad press, this literary episode has raised the question of whether precious works of renowned writers should see the light of day, even against their wishes. Is published and be damned a...

We all know the titular character synonymous with all vampiric imaginings, yet comparatively few people these days have read the original 1897 book. To Kirkland, who re-read it in 2020, reproducing the novel through bitesize chunks via a daily newsletter made perfect sense. The novel is, after all, written through a collection of letters, articles and diary entries all dated between 3 May and 10 November. BookTok influencers: Revolut...
