Lincoln Michel

It's kind of remarkable how much some readers HATE reading lol (And if you want an adult fiction about living in trees and anthropomorphic animals try Italo Calvino's The Baron in the Trees and Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber.) https://twitter.com/SketchesbyBoze/status/1501739609209901057

@parabasis @pronounced_ing @AriannaRebolini This isn't quite the same thing but in Yoko Ogawa's Revenge, one of Ogawa's short stories is---in a later short story--the work of a crazy failed author character

Got a google alert for one of those NYT content stealing sites that thesauruses to I guess not get caught and they changed "Lincoln Michel, the author of the science fiction novel The Body Scout" to "Lincoln Michel, the columnist of the sci-fi atypical The Physique Scout"

Is literary twitter aware that the Icelandic translator of DRACULA just... wrote an entirely different and "markedly sexier" book and pretended it was Bram Stoker's novel? Someone translate this not-Dracula back into English please. https://t.co/DNfUObItfM

I love the idea that Ursula K. Le Guin stumbled into writing a dystopian narrative as if the author of The Lathe of Heaven, The Left Hand of Darkness, etc. didn't think about utopias or dystopias and their role in art at all and just goofed up here. https://t.co/yimb5BwVF4

What are your favorite novels with buffoonish, un-self-aware narrators? I'm thinking like Pale Fire by Nabokov of Good Behavior by Molly Keane Thinking these are my favorite kind of novels...

My novel THE BODY SCOUT was published one year ago last week, and today I learned it's already earned out and I'm getting royalties. Honestly didn't expect that! But thank you to so much to everyone who read, reviewed, or recommended! https://t.co/TLGgTpjppk @orbitbooks https://t.co/iuF6fuA1x5
