I talked to @tithenai, @maxgladstone, @kelsaywhat and @tha_rami about BIGOLAS DICKOLAS WOLFWOOD, a more powerful literary force than the Pulitzer Prize. Also, "This is How You Lose the Time War" is a good book. https://t.co/VCgGyUKZPC

True Biz: Reese's Book Club

Sara Novic
amanda silberlingamanda silberling

“True Biz” taught me so much about Deaf culture, disability and the ever-present threat of eugenicist science. I love when fiction can help me empathize with people different from me.

New Waves

Kevin Nguyen
amanda silberlingamanda silberling

I really, really, really loved the books “Stay True” by Hua Hsu and “New Waves” by Kevin Nguyen for the particular way they talk about the experience of losing a friend — do you know of similar books?

Scarlett Tanager: Poetry

Bernadette Mayer
amanda silberlingamanda silberling

Someone told me once that my poetry reminds them of Bernadette Mayer and Eileen Myles combined and I’m like well that makes sense because I have both of their poems hanging in my room and I stare at them every day!

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

Gabrielle Zevin
amanda silberlingamanda silberling

It’s hard to pull off the kind of story that follows characters from the time they’re small children to fully formed adults, but it’s a joy (and, at times, agonizing) to watch these two friends grow from awkward artistic teens to niche-famous game developers.
