"Lucky for us, we have been graced with one of the first great contemporary histories of the COVID-19 pandemic...A brilliant account." Terrific review of Aftershocks by @thomaswright08 & @ColinKahl! https://warontherocks.com/2021/11/international-order-through-the-historians-eye/

Reading Elaine Castillo’s HOW TO READ NOW, and she has this wonderful idea: the unexpected reader. A reader who doesn’t expect - or assume - the book reaffirms them. Rather, the book is a gateway, a challenge, a way of seeing, which the reader controls, not the book.

This reminds me of a convo Toni Morrison had at NYPL. She said she went back and re-read Beloved, and was shocked. It’s pretty good, she said, delighted. And then laughed. Everyone else laughed, though awkwardly, because only Morrison could be shocked at her own genius. https://t.co/aT25yLI6so

Nice work @eben_kirksey! His book, which I was proud to publish, THE MUTANT PROJECT, explores this and more. @melflashman https://t.co/kTiK8u2pmy

Not a lot of good news going on, but hearing this, and how The Passenger is described, makes me giddy. Need to find time to dust off an old McCarthy novel to read in anticipation. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/08/books/cormac-mccarthy-new-novels.html?referringSource=articleShare

Absolutely brilliant review - and so well deserved, @jeffgoodell! Out from @littlebrown in July, THE HEAT WILL KIL YOU FIRST is essential reading. "This is a propulsive book, one to be raced through; the planet is burning, and we are running out of time." https://t.co/dJ9coLxqS2

“Constructing a Nervous System” by Margo Jefferson is so interesting. She exposes all the hidden corridors of the self, and examines them with such temerity it jolts her to experiment with form and approach—we are a cluster of atoms, and she exposes the parts.

Terrific review of @jeffgoodell THE HEAT WILL KILL YOU FIRST in @washingtonpost. "The scariest thing about the heat-infused future, Goodell notes, is that we don’t treat it with the respect and concern that it deserves." @littlebrown https://t.co/X13jhPXHqQ

Shared by The Paris Review. Marias was full of wisdom, in his books, and everywhere else. https://t.co/RSzv0gYhC4

Glad to see @cjcmichel’s trenchant new piece on the caveat to sanctions. It builds upon the work he’s done in his new book, American Kleptocracy, which I didn’t think would require a war to become headline-grabbing. Go get yourself a copy. https://twitter.com/AdrienneLaF/status/1501546641115041792
