I also reviewed Lauren Wilkinson's "American Spy." Bloody brilliant, nuanced thriller set in Burkina Faso, NYC & the Caribbean. Highly recommend this. https://t.co/QChrm8xnAX

My review of Mariana Enríquez's novel, OUR SHARE OF NIGHT: "Maybe I turn up the volume to 11 because of the genre I like to work in, but the genre puts a light on the real horror that gets lost in [a phrase like] 'political violence'." --M. Enríquez https://t.co/7Q3FZz43Zv

Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand

Samuel R. Delany

@nameshiv The main character from Steve Delany's "Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand" is a human who's part of an integrated colonial family that includes native space crabs. Not a book for the faint of heart though.

Mike Pence

As Kirschner points out, Mike Pence is fighting a subpoena essentially asking him to repeat under oath the same incriminating details about 1/6 that HE ALREADY REVEALED IN HIS BOOK, ironically titled, "So Help Me God." Hopefully SCOTUS will fast-track his testimony. https://t.co/ErplJFGAts

@aprilhenrybooks I presume he'll start by banning Plato's "Symposium"? This gay literary conspiracy has been around for millennia! 😄

The Awakening

Kate Chopin
Zakariah Johnson 🪕Zakariah Johnson 🪕

@jesterholm @tcboyle Kate Chopin's 1894 "The Story of an Hour" hits hard. Another perfect short story. I think more people don't read her because she's considered too cynical for high school English classes. Her novel "The Awakening" probably still gives certain people the vapors. https://t.co/9FTo0dgEQ9
