"The island’s meanings are multiple and elusive. Mackay revels in the ancient stories attached to the landscape" The Invention of Sicily by @JacMackay in @TheTLS the-tls.co.uk/articles/the-i…
"Like an anamorphic painting, the island seems to change form depending on which way you look at it." I had the pleasure of reviewing The Invention of Sicily by @JacMackay, a deepdive into one of the most fascinating and bewildering places on earth opendemocracy.net/en/can-europe-…
Honoured to see The Invention of Sicily in such esteemed company here in the @NewYorker "A spirit of borderland independence" a neat way of summarising one of the most important messages in the book too newyorker.com/magazine/2021/…
'A wild and breezy ride through one of the most unique and alluring places in the world.' @alexsakalis reviews The Invention of Sicily by Jamie Mackay (@JacMackay) for @openDemocracy
It was tough narrowing this down, but I'm fairly pleased with the mix here: ten recommendations for Sicily-related books (that don't focus on the mafia) theguardian.com/books/2021/jul…

Do not miss @JacMackay 's essay on how white supremacists enlist classical Rome in support of their cause aeon.co/essays/colonia…
White supremacists fetishise ancient Rome – but antiquity was more diverse and polychromatic than racists will admit aeon.co/essays/colonia… @JacMackay
I wrote this for @aeonmag about antiquity, white supremacism, classical statues, and the diverse, polychromatic world of ancient Rome aeon.co/essays/colonia…
A slight deviation in the newsletter format this week - for various reasons. Thanks to the kind folk @krytyka for allowing me to publish this Q&A on Georgia Meloni, and those Fratelli d'Italia polls... theweekinitaly.substack.com/p/a-right-wing…
The strength of the writing here is matched by @DianaHenryFood’s enormous generosity of spirit and courage that prevails during many terrifying months. The voice can only be hers - there is even a dash of dark humour. An intensely brilliant must-read. telegraph.co.uk/women/life/dia…
