it’s a good time to read Mark Gevisser’s THE PINK LINE (brilliantly edited by @jaxxonhoward) about the ways anti-western backlash is a cudgel for harming queer people across the globe https://t.co/TMaWyTRjkQ

For many writers, Johnson is the patron saint of loneliness, and his semiautobiographical cult hit, Jesus’ Son, is scripture for learning how to write volcanic prose that aches.

But I’m obsessed with how Somers captures a charged weekend in a young woman’s life with wit and humor and razor-sharp prose…I loved every sentence of this novel.

@emme_lund Ooooh have you read Jordy Rosenberg’s CONFESSIONS OF THE FOX?

No one captures the poetics of eros and diasporic longing amid our late-stage capitalist hellscape like Alina Pleskova. I love a poem that captures with insane specificity how it feels to be alive today.

Milk Fed is hot, laugh-out-loud funny, queer, Jewish, and extremely L.A. At one point, Rachel describes an L.A. restaurant as having “a farm-to-hell look that always made me think of death by hanging.”…It’s an unforgettable read.

no better way to dive into the weekend than with @k8bushofficial’s X, which opens, as more books should, with semierotic waterboarding https://t.co/4NKl9P8mfl
