@EMirengoff If you're a Dara Horn fan, I recommend THE WEIGHT OF INK; if you're just asking what my favorite Jewish novels are, well, some are no longer fashionable but others were never fashionable--I really like DOLLY CITY by Orly Castel-Bloom!

I got to be the publicist for POW, Mo Yan's first book after he won. Do you know what it's like to have a book EVERY book outlet WANTS? I'd never experienced it before. A perfect storm of coverage. Glorious. I basically retired afterward to bask in the serotonin. ❤️@seagullbooks

Any time I grunt, for any reason, I'm compelled to whisper "Na nah na nah" afterward--for having once heard Master P, he is MY master for life. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for there is No Limit to my Soldierity.

Occasionally, when publishers send arcs to booksellers they read them. That's how I first happened to read @blakesarah's NAAMAH and that's why I'm tremendously excited to know that this book is headed my way. https://twitter.com/blakesarah/status/1430923788112257030

I'm thrilled to finally hear Jeannie Vanasco talk about THINGS WE DIDN’T TALK ABOUT WHEN I WAS A GIRL at @thelostweekend. I read this book a few years ago & though it’s difficult to say about a rape memoir, I'm 100% in awe of her style and structure. Amazing, amazing writer. https://t.co/l5EtDy6TEu
