“You work in the library, right?...Who’s the Girl Behind Bars?” “Who?” “By the elevators on the ground floor. A window. Bars. There’s a girl in there.” “You must mean Phlox.” “Phlox? Her name is Phlox? There are girls named Phlox?” The Mysteries of Pittsburgh – Michael Chabon https://t.co/skonOWspzD

Congratulations to @TiffTsao, translator of Budi Darma's fascinating book, PEOPLE FROM BLOOMINGTON. I wrote about Darma's stories last summer for @The_Millions https://t.co/6SP1qOckk8 https://t.co/YqjX2sV9Ou

My #FridayReads is Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver. And last Friday it was Bewilderment by Richard Powers, one of the best/most heartbreaking books I've read this year.

THE KEEPER by @KelceyErvick is a fabulous graphic memoir not just about soccer but also teammates, gender roles, Title IX, making art, nostalgia, and so much more. Read it & sign up for her newsletter on making art, which is always an interesting read. https://t.co/UzrUAkijJZ

Interesting book pairing: Bono's Surrender and Fintan O'Toole's We Don't Know Ourselves. Edna O'Brien's The Country Girls trilogy up soon. I have a theme, and that theme is Ireland.

Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver and Bewilderment by Richard Powers seem to share a conversation, & have so much to say about life and children and the environment and pharmaceuticals and class. Recommend both. #amreading #novels #fiction #FridayReads https://t.co/zwkD05Kmwh

Ann Patchett’s These Precious Days is like a long conversation with a friend, my friend Ann, whom I’ve never met. When she mentioned her other books, especially Truth & Beauty, I nodded, Yes, I remember when you told me about those people and that time.
