Intermezzo

Faber & Faber, London and Farrar, Straus and Giroux, New York both published on 24 September 2024 — simultaneous, with no documented priority. Both are collected and both should be named. Faber is the author's home publisher and is the issue conventionally preferred as the first; the FSG issue is the American first and is correctly described as "first American edition," not as a reprint. Trap: Faber's own "International Edition" (ISBN 9780571365470) is a separate export issue, not the UK first.
