This coming weekend: Newark, NJ is the place to be. Join us Saturday afternoon for a sure-to-be-lively conversation about what writers are and are not "allowed" to say. All (or mostly) through the lens Philip Roth's The Human Stain. You won't get this on TikTok, people. https://t.co/7CLohOiuh7

Got things to say about this week's @TheUnspeakPod conversation w/Louise Perry about her new book THE CASE AGAINST THE SEXUAL REVOLUTION. The place for comments is now the Substack. It's for paying subscribers only, but I'd say reasonably priced! Join us! https://t.co/d2iRotRjcg

This week on @TheUnspeakPod, journalist @rrrins talks about her new book, THE GOSPEL OF WELLNESS. She also admits to eating baby food as part of a clean diet and I admit to only ever eating 7/8ths of a donut. #SelfCareSeptember! https://t.co/7yqDNMtd0w

By all laws of literary physics, this memoir shouldn’t work at all. There is very little story, almost no conflict…At the end of the book, everyone is essentially the same as they were at the beginning. No one has learned a lesson or become a better person. It’s thrilling.

Woolf is at her best when delving into the fast and brutal progression of Hal’s illness. Her account of his final months…is unflinching and brutally precise

Was honored to be asked by @Femsplainers to recommend summer reading and excited to recommended @SheenaMasonPhD's THEORY OF RACELESSNESS. Maybe not your typical beach read, but why be typical? https://twitter.com/Femsplainers/status/1544712806125158401
