Favs liking ur other favs. 🥺 Bryan Washington: "Jeremy Atherton Lin, author of Gay Bar, described the allure of these spaces best: 'It’s not about holding out for a good night, but rather a letting go,' giving in to the 'unconvincing promise of escape.'" https://t.co/EnOvhdrNp6

@sysh Recents: Queer Compulsions by Amy Sueyoshi, The Pink Line by Mark Gevisser, Sexualness by Akshay Khanna. And for its ambitious hybridity of memoir, (auto)biography, queer history and nature writing, I've just re-read Mike Parker's On the Red Hill and just love it.

Aaand the Academy Award for Best Lede goes to...@AlexandraJacobs. "The movie director James Ivory is most closely associated with decorous period pieces...so I wasn’t expecting his memoirs to be quite such a 'Remembrance of Penises Past.'" Cannot wait. https://t.co/7RFtdbhuQw

"He starts the book with Rafael Pinto, a Sephardi pharmacist in Sarajevo, Bosnia, planting a kiss on the lips of a bewildered cavalry officer" Adam Mars-Jones's NYT review of Aleksandar Hemon's new book, The World and All That It Holds. https://t.co/PRaIvKlu5L

A huge congrats to Doireann Ní Ghríofa and @socialmedea__ for their deserving James Tait Black Prizes wins. A Ghost in the Throat is one of favorite reads of 2021, and I have the privilege of teaching the stunning work that is Lote. https://t.co/vcmd7JKCpf
