Very glad I got to say a few words about one of my favorite books of the year, Marcial Gala’s THE BLACK CATHEDRAL (translated by Anna Kushner, over at @lithub: https://t.co/XV03NHcOUk

@_KANielsen_ For me, it really depends on the moment...where I am in a project, where I am in my life, etc (as opposed to a more general list). But 2 books that gave me this feeling recently are Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore's The Freezer Door and Roberto Bolaño's 2666.

Was just reminiscing with someone about seeing Virginia Woolf’s Orlando in the library for the first time and thinking it was about Orlando, FL

Wonderful interview with Raven Leilani & very excited to read LUSTER: "You talk to other writers and they’re sort of dogged by this specter of ‘I’m not making anything,’ she said, 'but for most of us, that’s the reality of making art, is not making it.” https://t.co/uSsmPeDrtZ

Happiest of pub days to Jessica Anthony's ENTER THE AARDVARK, out today from @littlebrown. A ghost story + political satire + love story + taxidermy. A wild ride & a very original hybrid. https://t.co/JCi72xhqSr

After picking up & putting down a few different books I am now happily immersed in Alejandro Zambra's CHILEAN POET which is a fucking delight so far. https://t.co/A9ju5uibUf

Hanna Bervoets’s slim, potent new novel, “We Had to Remove This Post,” appears at first to be the story of a tech workplace gone terribly awry, but it quickly shape-shifts into something more surprising and enigmatic.
