I reread DFW for the first time since I was in high school for this episode and...it was extremely difficult but still enjoyable. Also, @laurenoyler confirms that @Harpers has fact-checkers and they’re GREAT! https://t.co/MGuibbTbFj

@devikagirgayi Almost as good as when Evelyn Waugh’s Brideshead Revisited made a list of best books by female authors

I spoke to Ottessa Moshfegh about Lapvona, nature, patriarchy, and “growing into what I felt was a body that had turned against me.” https://t.co/PPQpvUs2Y8

Reading a (used) copy of Nickel and Dimed my freshman year of college was a formative experience for my understanding of politics and what writing could be. I’m eternally grateful that Ehrenreich was assigned reading, and I hope she remains so.

Out of stock

SEPTOLOGY sounds like a stunt—a Norwegian novel with minimal plot that’s told in one sentence across ~1k pages, with doubles that may not be doubles—but it’s surprisingly easy to read. I spoke with Wyatt Mason about the singular experience of Fosse’s novel. https://t.co/70rJKMbevc

I spoke with Adolph Reed Jr. about his new book, THE SOUTH: JIM CROW AND ITS AFTERLIVES (pub’d by @VersoBooks), voting rights, reparations, and the potential pitfalls of discussing the past. https://t.co/k1yZIw4lMa
