As part of @hayfestival I've been feat. alongside luminaries including Dua Lipa and Sadiq Khan - here in @GuardianBooks i was asked about a book that would change the world and I named Lust Caution by Eileen Chang - a masterclass in history and duality https://t.co/CuvSXrCF06 https://t.co/ovIi2epyof

Just read 65 pages of Lily King’s Writers & Lovers - this book is charming, quietly gorgeous, strangely agonizing, and somehow I’m not disliking reading about a writer (not) writing…I’m surprised and thrilled by how enjoyable it is & how improved my night feels by having read it

Everyone must read @AMrjoian575’s new story in @The_Rumpus - a story that’s a little bit of everything and completely self aware about itself. As a review I leave you this deranged text I sent Aram this morning — but yes GO READ it’s good for the soul 😭❤️ https://therumpus.net/2022/04/25/rumpus-original-fiction-wherever-anyplace/ https://t.co/KFxUYukREv

A week from today (6/23, 8pm), come hang out with newly-minted New York Times BESTSELLING author @kirstin_chen and me at @bookclubbar to celebrate the publication of COUNTERFEIT, a story of fake handbags and real friendship. It's going to be so fun! https://t.co/6W7IS5TNOo
