Dave Eggers’ novel The Circle anticipated our present internet dystopia. The Every is a sequel, explicitly positioned as satire. As with The Circle, everything is an exaggeration … and it’s all believable. 8/11 https://t.co/07RH9rXQdo

Like many, I discovered Kristin Hannah with “Nightingale,” which I loved. I found “The Four Winds” to be profoundly moving, one of my favorite books of the past decade. The setting is a prairie farm during the Depression … The story is incredibly timely. 2/11 https://t.co/Xj2wcohwCT

A great interview with Lester and @_DylanChambers that talks about The Chambers Brothers, @Moonalice, and the chemistry between Lester and Dylan. Along with @BottleRockNapa, the piece also discusses the upcoming June 3rd Golden Gate Bandshell show.  https://www.kalw.org/arts-culture/2022-05-25/lester-chambers-continues-psychedelic-soul-legacy-with-son-dylan-and-band-moonalice

Rosa Lee Hawkins, a singer in the Dixie Cups, has died. Her group’s hits, Chapel of Love and Iko Iko, are part of my DNA. RIP. https://t.co/JNNB0GIX59
