Just over two weeks until pub day for SMALL ANIMALS CAUGHT IN TRAPS, which @pbhoffmeister called "full of grit and fishermen, broken towns and real animals, a wonderful read to go along with coffee or whiskey, or whiskey in coffee.” Preorder it now at https://t.co/msq5gi9iGB https://t.co/SzmyIUM9i0

Home from a long, wet dog walk in the first rain in ages to learn Martin Amis died. I just picked up LONDON FIELDS again a few days ago to look up something I remembered loving: “Because we are all poets or babies in the middle of the night, struggling with being.” Safe travels.

Fred Ward was so good with Huey Lewis and Buck Henry in Short Cuts, based on Raymond Carver's stories. So good. https://t.co/Bweq2HPQFn

Well, shit. @Caiemmons, Russell Banks, and now Charles Simic. The literary world is full of new holes this week, and they will be difficult to fill. THE WIND HAS DIED My little boat, Take care. There is no Land in sight. —Charles Simic

Rather than argue with your family over the dinner table or yell at the TV news, pick up a copy of @smDeWittHall's THE LANGUAGE OF BODIES over the holidays, find a quiet place to read, and sink yourself into the story. (Cake sold separately.) https://t.co/cegVeLEDfH https://t.co/DnswprrR9b

Happy E.B. White's Birthday, to those who celebrate. And to those who don't, what the hell? His ONE MAN'S MEAT is a masterclass on personal essays and a fascinating read about a forgotten America.

Out of stock

Happy launch day to the inventive and badass @pbhoffmeister and his newest novel, AMERICAN AFTERLIFE. If you're not familiar with his work, start reading his books now so you can nod knowingly when everyone else in the world recommends them to you. https://t.co/XEe1YXLmkz
