Randy Kennedy

Not sure which to be happier about - that I got a lovely #NYT review by a writer of the caliber of @LeeChildReacher or that my first fiction review in the #NYT is pseudonymously bylined. I think I’ll take both. nytimes.com/2018/09/03/boo… @TouchstoneBooks #presidiothenovel

The White Columns Annual is one of New York’s great traditions, and Randy Kennedy has hit his out of the park. The work is rough and tumble, hand-fashioned, concise, and (in every sense) scrappy—art that must exist. Tolliver, Parsons, and T. Guyton star. You have until Saturday.

@jerrysaltz ‘Moby Dick’ and ‘Mrs. Dalloway’

Proust’s “In Search of Lost Time” is my favorite book. It took me 10 yrs of attempting & failing. Then out of nowhere, I could read it. Now I’ve read all of it 5 times. Ditto “Paradise Lost.” I’ve read it 5 times. What two favorite books took you many tries before they clicked?

Don’t know who to credit for this, but…

Hey, literary twitter: I'm calling my next class "The Short Form", using everything from poems, to stories, to novels. What short novels (or novellas) should I include (probably not much more than 100 pages)? Hit me (by the way, I love doing this!)

@cmonstah I’m thinking maybe 12. Right? Depending on traffic. :)

@cmonstah As Liz Lemon says: I want to go to there. All of them.

@jilnotjill I drank lots of Liquid I.V. hydrating mix and think it really helped. Seemed like I needed more than just lots of plain water for this thing. Hope you’re on the mend soon.

@robertasmithnyt Czeslaw Milosz was great with weather : AT A CERTAIN AGE We wanted to confess our sins but there were no takers. White clouds refused to accept them, and the wind Was too busy visiting sea after sea.

Who is the greatest poet of weather?
