I don’t know if it is “good,” exactly, but I do recommend carving out a couple hours to watch Noah Baumbach’s version of Don DeLillo’s WHITE NOISE on Netflix — and then reading about it: https://t.co/7SVid9mW60

Finished @dankois's lovely VINTAGE CONTEMPORARIES this morning; enjoyed @constancegrady's review. I hadn't known going in that it was part homage to Laurie Colwin -- a major character in my book -- and I laughed out loud when I realized what he was doing! https://t.co/F6bjR5XONC

I missed the publication date but Kate Zambreno’s THE LIGHT ROOM is so good that I just wanted to savor every bit https://t.co/5TmsiXJBKo

On the hidden roots of Women Talking, most notably St. Augustine, and how they shift and change from Miriam Toews’s novel to the new film adaptation. #TIFF22 https://t.co/kKgw7TNYOq

Yesterday I read all of Emma Cline’s THE GUEST (published Tuesday) while sitting at cafes in Nice. A perfect book for exactly this purpose: totally a page-turner, messy protagonist, a little episodic, not too long, sticks the landing perfectly. https://t.co/7l60o5pJ0U

@tarakmenon this is not a whole novel but large portions of Lorrie Moore’s SELF-HELP

EILEEN is bound to be divisive, but I am on the yes side. Big Highsmith vibes, which is what happens when an Ottessa Moshfegh novel becomes a screenplay and then gets directed by William Oldroyd. It zags, it’s weird, I love it. #Sundance2023 https://t.co/DyjbSLTaYl
