Currently reading and loving STATE OF PARADISE by @lauramvandenberg!! Ling Ma calls it “mind-dilating” and I couldn’t agree more! Hooked.

“It’s so clear today that reality has been commodified. It is, effectively, for sale.” Can’t wait to read Hernan Diaz’s TRUST. Great piece @briancastleber5! https://t.co/SPgSqtH1vk

“There’s peacocking humor, capers, and passages of shuddering eroticism. The book feels thrillingly free” @NewYorker on @J_Escoffery’s debut 9/6 ⭐️

I'm very impacted by the stories of Gina Berriault who I think wrote about women with great sensuality and affection, though she also allowed them to get into some delicious trouble.

JAZZ is one of my top five novels of all time. There may be more esteemed Morrison books but that one dug deep. Gorgeous prose, a riveting storyline, unforgettable characters. Its first paragraph may be my favorite novel opening in all of literature.

On the book’s structure: I think it also mirrors music, particularly jazz, where you’ve got an ongoing rhythm, which you could call the narrative thread in a novel…and you’ve got each player taking a solo — taking that initial harmony and doing something with it that’s their own.
