Speaking of the great Terrance Hayes, do you know that he reads the audiobook of "American Sonnets for My Past and Future Assassin?" I love listening to his voice.

I reread Bennett Sims’s brilliant, moving “A Questionable Shape” yesterday, and because I am deep into Proust this year, I finally appreciate how beautifully Proustian Sims’s novel is. It’s also a perfect read for these apocalyptic times.@TwoDollarRadio https://t.co/D5U65waEnG

#ClimateReads In her foreword to PARABLE OF THE SOWER, @nkjemisin says the book "works beautifully as an examination of how smart resistance functions." What might Octavia Butler's novel teach us about resistance? A question to ask as we read! @XrRebelNYC @BPL_Presents @likaluca

Yesterday's mail brought a galley of I HOLD A WOLF BY THE EARS by @Lvandenberg. I feel deeply privileged to be one of Laura's early readers (and even more privileged to be her friend). Reading her fiction is always a thrill: https://t.co/CWexIAFdOo

I am indeed an Alice Munro completist. The stories I've probably reread most often are "Friend of My Youth," "Jakarta," "The Beggar Maid," "Wild Swans," "Open Secrets," "Family Furnishings," "The Bear Came Over the Mountain," "Runaway," and "Chance." https://t.co/SyRT150Llg

On my long drive today, I’m listening to the audiobook of @AlecMacGillis’s FULFILLMENT. And I’m delighted that the book quotes Charles D’Ambrosio on Seattle.
