Marrying the Ketchups
Jennifer Close
This is such a good episode. I took the Novel Generator class with @jenniferclose through @CatapultStory last year, and she is one of the best writing teachers I’ve ever worked with. Can’t wait to dive into MARRYING THE KETCHUPS! https://twitter.com/tsnotyaw/status/1519641526456004608

Praying to the West: How Muslims Shaped the Americas
Omar Mouallem
Happy book birthday to @OmarMouallem and PRAYING TO THE WEST! Omar is the "fake dean" of @PandemicSchool, and has done so much for writers over the past 18 months. I highly recommend getting a copy of this essential book! https://t.co/6lCG47EdAi https://t.co/jCjovT1Ble

Deacon King Kong (Oprah's Book Club)
James McBride
I'm reading this one now—DEACON KING KONG by James McBride: "Deacon Cuffy Lambkin of Five Ends Baptist Church became a walking dead man on a cloudy September afternoon in 1969." Time period, main character, VERY high stakes situation, it's all here!

Slouchers: The Novelization
Mike Sacks
Ordering @michaelbsacks' hilarious new book "Slouchers" ASAP for several comedy fans (including myself!) for the holidays. It's the third in his series of fake film novelizations, this one parodying 90's grunge. Read an excerpt from @mcsweeneys here! https://t.co/JCMn5fyRo7

Priestdaddy: A Memoir
Patricia Lockwood
@angrymobdc That’s definitely something I touch on in my Modern Comic Lit class, balancing grounded emotion with comedic action—good idea for a stand alone class! I think Made for Love (fiction) by Alissa Nutting and Priestdaddy (memoir) by Patricia Lockwood are great at this

Interior Chinatown: A Novel (National Book Award Winner)
Charles Yu
Read "Interior Chinatown" by @charles_yu and "Several People are Typing" by @cjkasulke this week—I love novels written in unexpected forms! These two were written as a screenplay and Slack messages, respectively. Anyone have other recs for me in this particular style?

I've added another section of my Reading Modern Comic Lit as Writers class @CatapultStory! This one is every other Wednesday, starting 3/16, from 1-3pm ET (good for freelancers, people not on a 9-5 schedule, or if you can get away). I love these books! https://t.co/aBn6dxMRZK
