A year ago, a friend gave me Annie Dillard’s, “The Writing Life.” I was deep in the “Can I do this?” phase of my manuscript at the time. Now, shockingly, my book is written! You can reserve your copy of “The Best Strangers in the World” here: https://t.co/9XxQ74pssG https://t.co/BrpmLxBxYE

This is Wade. He heard my Paul Monette story on @nprfreshair and came to my Dallas book event. He was so moved by “Becoming a Man” that he wrote Paul a fan letter in the 90s and received this postcard in return. He has saved both for all these decades. https://t.co/srCdPOxibo

I picked up "The Chaos Machine" thinking that as someone who covers the news, I pretty much knew what was in the book. Nope. After reading it, I've been recommending it to everyone I know. My conversation with @Max_Fisher from @npratc: https://t.co/9Ihmj8ksRD

“Young Mungo” was a book I won’t soon forget. I’ve been recommending it to friends, and now you can hear my interview with author @Doug_D_Stuart on @npratc

Thrilled to wake up to a @PublishersWkly review praising the "depth and empathy" of The Best Strangers in the World! "Longtime listeners and first-time callers alike will delight in this collection." Reserve your copy & get tickets for my tour here: https://t.co/PHo0KWkRoM

Fans of Werner Herzog's films might not be surprised to learn that his debut novel centers on a solitary man pursuing a single-minded quixotic goal. On @npratc I talked with the legend himself about "The Twilight World." https://www.npr.org/2022/06/14/1105025454/werner-herzogs-new-novel-is-a-story-of-the-jungle-and-obsession-and-delusion

I rarely get to read anything that isn't for work, but last weekend I inhaled @GarthGreenwell's "Cleanness," and now I'm reading as much about his work as I can. There's a section about Whitman that made me smile about how Uncle Walt would feel if he could read this book.

As I interviewed @ingrid_rojas_c about her memoir “The Man Who Could Move Clouds” on @npratc today, I offered a memory of my own fortune teller Grandma Sylvia. Here’s a photo of her (the blonde), with my mom and aunt from about 1961: https://www.npr.org/2022/07/18/1112116286/ingrid-rojas-contreras-on-how-writing-her-memoir-helped-after-losing-her-memory https://t.co/jxx0FzfzvJ
