Here's a really interesting interview with Gina Apostol on her novel, La Tercera. Very curious about this book now, and I might try to pick it up via an airport bookstore if I'm lucky to find it there on my way home! Link via Electric Lit. #books https://t.co/kAiPzEBp8a

Looking forward to checking out this episode of Smarty Pants in The American Scholar with Naoíse Mac Sweeney about her new history book, The West: A New History in Fourteen Lives. I'm very curious about Sweeney's approach here. #history #books https://t.co/hOpqRO1ukr

Well, this is interesting! There's a new piece in The Conversation by Emily Zobel Marshall which looks at some of the evidence that Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit books were influenced by the Brer Rabbit tales. Lots of teasing out of threads here! #books https://t.co/NUaK7s7fr4

This is an odd review approach Salman Rushdie's body of work (and the politics within them). Technically specifically on Victory City, but really an almost brutal criticism of the direction of Rushdie's writing. I'm not sure how I feel about it. #books https://t.co/miw9HTDIf6

The folks at @publicbooks have a fascinating piece on George Schuyler's Black Empire which might be of interest to y'all. Same author of the satire, Black No More! #sciencefiction https://t.co/cw5unmZ7th

Rather enjoyed reading this piece from @TheBookerPrizes on Ben Okri's The Famished Road (and its creation). Presently reading Okri's The Last Gift of the Master Artists, which dropped last month (it's very interesting, and y'all should read it). https://t.co/MDnv5Ikry0

Very much looking forward to one day teaching Cadwell Turnbull's No Gods, No Monsters alongside a Buckel, a Hopkinson, a Lord, a Garcia, an O'Brien, and more. One day, y'all. :D #books
