Only if you write it. But I’m rereading Aldo Leopold’s “A Sand County Almanac” tonight, which is wonderfully incongruous considering my situation. https://t.co/0OOYODfvcH

Book Cover for: Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City, Matthew Desmond

Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City

Matthew Desmond
T.C. BoyleT.C. Boyle

It is compelling, shocking and depressing in equal parts and a real eye-opener in terms of illuminating the way society treats and profits off the poor. I’d recommend Evicted to friends far and wide, as it is able to summon the deepest emotional response in its readers.

I like your characterization of the book. Another of my Coover favorites is the novella, "A Political Fable" (originally "The Cat in the Hat for President," but Dr. Seuss objected). https://t.co/Z9o2GSpKRd

Thank you, my dear fellow. There is now a fourth Riley story, "The End Is Only A Beginning." Just written. I'll let you know where and when it appears. And yes, I hope that someday I will put together a book of Riley stories in the way of Updike and his Bech books. https://t.co/K8QDBgzFuM

“I have completed the construction of my burrow and it seems to be successful. All that can be seen from outside is a big hole; that, however, leads nowhere; if you take a few steps you strike against natural firm rock.” Franz Kafka, “The Burrow.” https://t.co/UQRxbRdAy9

There are many. My favorite, which I've just reread, is Lars Eighner's "Travels with Lizbeth." Also, check out my short story, "Here Comes." https://t.co/9u6Yuy8t7i

Don DeLillo, one our premier novelists, whose chef d’oeuvre, “White Noise,” I am currently revisiting. This is the photo from the back cover of the original Viking edition from 1985. My second favorite of his books is “Mao II.” How about you? https://t.co/PSDl09aIt6
