Dispatches from Puerto Nowhere: An American Story of Assimilation and Erasure
Robert Lopez
I've been working on blurbs for a couple different forthcoming books for a while and finally got them to where I liked them enough to let them loose. Feels good. Keep an eye out for Chanté L. Reid's THOT and Robert Lopez's DISPATCHES FROM PUERTO NOWHERE. Both v good. https://t.co/cBtFNKpTWz

An Attempt at Exhausting a Place in Paris

I love all the stuff we publish in @EL_DIAGRAM but am particularly enamored of Kij Johnson's AN ATTEMPT AT EXHAUSTING AN ATTEMPT AT EXHAUSTING A PLACE IN PARIS, BY GEORGES PEREC in the new issue (22.2). Go give it a read. It's a LOT—in the best way: https://t.co/guGSe7Y8hX https://t.co/Cx6fnGPgyX
