I have never read anything more true about writing in my life. From @xanalter's piece on Andrew Sean Greer's new novel, a sequel to his Pultizer prize winning Less: https://t.co/b4sj49a1N7

Books tweet: I couldn't read A Gentleman in Moscow but the Lincoln Highway (both books by Amor Towles) is slowly pulling me into its magnetic field.

I happend across some kind of AI project where they analyze all the novels and then break them down so you can "compare" your writing to your favorite author's. Surely only half a step away from computers writing novels now... @Harkaway @mollycrabapple https://t.co/r7WtCZqbSg

With Victoria Schofield, legendary journalist and commentator. She was Benazir Bhutto's best friend at Oxford and their friendship lasted 44 years. She wrote a memoir of that friendship called The Fragrance of Tears, from the famous verse by Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai. https://t.co/dEOCKklPuF

A great review of @ayadakhtar's Homeland Elegies in today's @dawn_com Books and Authors section. This is a wonderful book. Reads interestingly now that Trumpty Dumpty has fallen off his Wall. https://t.co/xDB3rqF9Bz

I watched "The Lost Daughter" on @NetflixFilm last night. What a gem of a movie. Maggie Gyllenhaal has taken Elena Ferrante's source novel and spun something electrifying out of it. Ambiguious wife- and motherhood has never been done better.

As for what is frightening about canceling a book event because someone's religious sentiments were "hurt" need I remind you what happened when Salman Rushdie published The Satanic Verses? You shouldn't play so innocent, really. https://t.co/jkTNHuYWjl

The only indie bookstore in Pakistan, @TheLastWordbks, has sold out of every Joan Didion book available. If someone can lend me a copy of The Year of Magical Thinking I'd be very grateful. https://t.co/cIfDsIb6iR
