reading a book of short stories published in early 2022 and once again thinking of the long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long shadow of George Saunders

I have only read two of the five shortlisted novels for the @nationalbook award but they are two of my absolute favorite novels this year: INTERIOR CHINATOWN by @charles_yu and LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND by @Rumaan — which, as a bonus, is out today!

Adam Sternbergh

congratulations to @charles_yu for winning the @nationalbook award for fiction for his exceptional, exciting novel INTERIOR CHINATOWN I hope he's suitably hungover the morning https://t.co/pUMGQXTB41

I adored this 3rd episode of "The Martin Chronicles" from @dankois @parul_sehgal & @zinoman, which is about Martin Amis's THE INFORMATION but also about literary jealousy, novelistic freedom, the joys of junk novels and unabashed genre-jumbling https://t.co/W6T5Hx4jOH

um "Although Gillian Flynn's 'Gone Girl' set a high standard for disintegrating marriages, Sternbergh's fourth novel surpasses even that." https://t.co/dlUimOkX9y

Andre Agassi’s OPEN felt like the most honest, warts-and-all account of the life of an elite pro athlete has there been a memoir like that written by a celebrity actor?

the best, most inventive fictional riff on Berlin (and several other world cities with equally improbable/untenable histories) is China Miéville's THE CITY & THE CITY, a murder mystery set in a fictional city split between two countries. It's brilliant: https://t.co/364UcX3Ae4

@owenlaukkanen EVERYBODY KNOWS by Jordan Harper has just come out and is highly scintillating LA noir

Adam Sternbergh

love to see these well-deserved kind words for the "wittily original" SECRET IDENTITY by @alex_segura, whose new novel is the 1970s-NYC-comic-industry-noir you didn't know you needed https://t.co/GYnKR8YVXP https://t.co/jwfOWsk5gZ

reviews like: "A deliciously dark fable of sex and power" @esquire "If Netflix’s The Chair, Lisa Taddeo’s Three Women, and the most compelling passages of Ottessa Moshfegh’s Death in Her Hands had a love child" @EW "A remarkable debut" @KirkusReviews https://t.co/fCPCZYQ8VR
