NEW: We've all heard the disdain for memoir and personal writing as "navel-gazing." A breathtaking new book by @melissafebos, "Body Work" exposes the resistance to such stories for what it is: resistance to social justice. Wrote about it @latimes. https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/books/story/2022-03-11/how-personal-essays-became-yes-an-art-form-melissa-febos-explains

@melissafebos Happy birthday, Melissa! You've probably read this one, but I recently read Signs Preceding The End of the World by @yuri_herrera and I can't stop thinking about it.

Three months ago I heard Salman Rushdie speak at the PEN World Voices Festival. He said: “A poem cannot stop a bullet. A novel can’t defuse a bomb … But we are not helpless … We can sing the truth & name the liars.” We must tell better stories than the tyrants.
