It comes from Foundry Editions, an indie publisher set up in 2023 to champion literature from around the Mediterranean and notable, like fellow leading internationalist houses Fitzcarraldo and And Other Stories, for their distinctive covers (in this case designed to capture the visual heritage of the region they celebrate). <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve been a fan of theirs for some time, ever since reading the second title they published: the extraordinary <em>Your Little Matter<\/em> by Maria Grazia Calandrone, translated from the Italian by Antonella Lettieri. Now, I\u2019ve fallen for their fifteenth book: <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foundryeditions.co.uk\/bookshop\/p\/you-know-the-sun-bothers-me\">You Know the Sun Bothers Me<\/a><\/em> by Maltese writer and visual artist Ryan Falzon, translated by Joe Gatt.<\/p><div id=\"dev95-522643017\" class=\"dev95- dev95-entity-placement\"><center>\r\n<script>\r\n  atOptions = {\r\n    'key' : '4ba6b6513c00e0ba76511f798ae56401',\r\n    'format' : 'iframe',\r\n    'height' : 50,\r\n    'width' : 320,\r\n    'params' : {}\r\n  };\r\n<\/script>\r\n<script src=\"https:\/\/www.highrevenueformat.com\/4ba6b6513c00e0ba76511f798ae56401\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n\t<\/center><\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The novel captures the unnamed thirty-year-old narrator\u2019s struggles to fill the summer months after he finishes schoolteaching for the year. Bored and frustrated, and still living with his parents, he spends his days drinking, sleeping and tinkering with old cars, while obsessing over Sarah, a volatile artist he met online, who oscillates between love-bombing and ghosting him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of this book\u2019s many masterful aspects is that it makes inaction compelling. We watch the narrator frittering his summer away with baited breath. The short chapters are devilishly moreish, prompting us to guzzle them in much the same way the narrator consumes alcohol.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is partly down to the novel\u2019s distinctive voice. Through Gatt, Falzon sustains a fascinating, vulnerable and thrawn patter that manages to move from dry humour to pathos in a handful of sentences. We chuckle at the descriptions of the protagonist\u2019s colleagues \u2013 the careers adviser, for example, who can\u2019t use a computer and retires every year \u2013 and shiver at the bleakness of the self-loathing that drives him to self-sabotage repeatedly. Although the self-deprecation is occasionally a little heavy-handed, making one or two notes predictable, the overall effect is rich and engrossing. I was particularly struck by the depiction of paranoia the night the narrator smokes cannabis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recognition is another important part of this book\u2019s success. Anyone who owns a smartphone will find things that resonate in its pages: it is one of the best novels about online life I\u2019ve ever read \u2013 on par with the International Booker Prize shortlisted <em>Perfection <\/em>by Vincenzo Latronico, translated by Sophie Hughes. Not only does it portray numerous aspects of using the internet breathtakingly accurately \u2013 from the etiquette of tagging and swiping right to the shame of loitering on social media waiting for likes, and the anxiety and endorphin rushes provoked by instant messaging \u2013 but it shows how these things seep into and reorder our consciousness, making distraction a default. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This works even at the sentence level, with the narrative often coming to us in fragments, and sometimes in lists of impressions that veer between the lyricism of poems and the prosaicism of listicles. Occasionally, it dissolves into chains of similes, conveying a sense of reality as slippery and malleable, forever just beyond our grasp.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet<em> You Know the Sun Bothers Me<\/em> is also locally distinctive. Malta is a character in this book, in all her maddening, charming, parochial glory. The Maltese language is folded liberally through the text, with Gatt taking the wise decision not to italicise or translate terms such as \u2018pjazza\u2019, \u2018mar\u010b\u2019 and \u2018ka\u017cin\u2019, but rather to leave them for readers to make their own accommodations with, so that we come to the story rather than having it delivered to us. The narrator vents liberally over his frustrations at the economic and social pressures that see him trapped in pseudo-adolescence, living like a teenager past his sell-by date in his parents\u2019 house. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And of course, there\u2019s Sarah, a formidable, fascinating and infuriating creation, who, like the protagonist, we grow to love and hate. I found resonance with some other excellent depictions of toxic relationships here \u2013 particularly in <em>Kairos<\/em> by Jenny Erpenbeck, translated by Michael Hofmann, and Kiran Desai\u2019s <em>The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny<\/em>. Interestingly, though, all the comparable renderings of such dynamics that sprang to my mind involved manipulative male characters. Falzon\u2019s Sarah is the only instance I can readily think of a woman in this role. (Do let me know if other examples occur to you in the comments below.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, this novel is a masterclass in putting psychology on the page. It shows how we twist reality and in so doing become complicit in our failures. With its deft depiction of the way virtual life rewires our thinking, it reveals how we may be remaking our minds in the internet\u2019s image. And with its compelling portrayal of inaction and distraction, it delivers a thoroughly absorbing read. Heartily recommended.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>You Know the Sun Bothers Me<\/em> by Ryan Falzon, translated from the Maltese by Joe Gatt (Foundry Editions, 2026)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_1421\" class=\"pvc_stats total_only\" data-element-id=\"1421\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.0\" viewbox=\"0 0 502 315\" preserveaspectratio=\"xMidYMid meet\"><g transform=\"translate(0,332) scale(0.1,-0.1)\" fill=\"\" stroke=\"none\"><path d=\"M2394 3279 l-29 -30 -3 -207 c-2 -182 0 -211 15 -242 39 -76 157 -76 196 0 15 31 17 60 15 243 l-3 209 -33 29 c-26 23 -41 29 -80 29 -41 0 -53 -5 -78 -31z\"\/><path d=\"M3085 3251 c-45 -19 -58 -50 -96 -229 -47 -217 -49 -260 -13 -295 52 -53 146 -42 177 20 16 31 87 366 87 410 0 70 -86 122 -155 94z\"\/><path d=\"M1751 3234 c-13 -9 -29 -31 -37 -50 -12 -29 -10 -49 21 -204 19 -94 39 -189 45 -210 14 -50 54 -80 110 -80 34 0 48 6 76 34 21 21 34 44 34 59 0 14 -18 113 -40 219 -37 178 -43 195 -70 221 -36 32 -101 37 -139 11z\"\/><path d=\"M1163 3073 c-36 -7 -73 -59 -73 -102 0 -56 133 -378 171 -413 34 -32 83 -37 129 -13 70 36 67 87 -16 290 -86 209 -89 214 -129 231 -35 14 -42 15 -82 7z\"\/><path d=\"M3689 3066 c-15 -9 -33 -30 -42 -48 -48 -103 -147 -355 -147 -375 0 -98 131 -148 192 -74 13 15 57 108 97 206 80 196 84 226 37 273 -30 30 -99 39 -137 18z\"\/><path d=\"M583 2784 c-38 -19 -67 -74 -58 -113 9 -42 211 -354 242 -373 16 -10 45 -18 66 -18 51 0 107 52 107 100 0 39 -1 41 -124 234 -80 126 -108 162 -133 173 -41 17 -61 16 -100 -3z\"\/><path d=\"M4250 2784 c-14 -9 -74 -91 -133 -183 -95 -150 -107 -173 -107 -213 0 -55 33 -94 87 -104 67 -13 90 8 211 198 130 202 137 225 78 284 -27 27 -42 34 -72 34 -22 0 -50 -8 -64 -16z\"\/><path d=\"M2275 2693 c-553 -48 -1095 -270 -1585 -649 -135 -104 -459 -423 -483 -476 -23 -49 -22 -139 2 -186 73 -142 361 -457 571 -626 285 -228 642 -407 990 -497 242 -63 336 -73 660 -74 310 0 370 5 595 52 535 111 1045 392 1455 803 122 121 250 273 275 326 19 41 19 137 0 174 -41 79 -309 363 -465 492 -447 370 -946 591 -1479 653 -113 14 -422 18 -536 8z m395 -428 c171 -34 330 -124 456 -258 112 -119 167 -219 211 -378 27 -96 24 -300 -5 -401 -72 -255 -236 -447 -474 -557 -132 -62 -201 -76 -368 -76 -167 0 -236 14 -368 76 -213 98 -373 271 -451 485 -162 444 86 934 547 1084 153 49 292 57 452 25z m909 -232 c222 -123 408 -262 593 -441 76 -74 138 -139 138 -144 0 -16 -233 -242 -330 -319 -155 -123 -309 -223 -461 -299 l-81 -41 32 46 c18 26 49 83 70 128 143 306 141 649 -6 957 -25 52 -61 116 -79 142 l-34 47 45 -20 c26 -10 76 -36 113 -56z m-2057 25 c-40 -58 -105 -190 -130 -263 -110 -324 -59 -707 132 -981 25 -35 42 -64 37 -64 -19 0 -241 119 -326 174 -188 122 -406 314 -532 468 l-58 71 108 103 c185 178 428 349 672 473 66 33 121 60 123 61 2 0 -10 -19 -26 -42z\"\/><path d=\"M2375 1950 c-198 -44 -350 -190 -395 -379 -18 -76 -8 -221 19 -290 114 -284 457 -406 731 -260 98 52 188 154 231 260 27 69 37 214 19 290 -38 163 -166 304 -326 360 -67 23 -215 33 -279 19z\"\/><\/g><\/svg><\/i> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dev95.site\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif?resize=16%2C16&#038;ssl=1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the heatwaves rippled across Europe, one summer novel held me gripped.
