I am beyond excited that my essay collection won the 2020 Gournay Prize and will be published by The Ohio State Press/Mad Creek Books as part of their 21st Century Essays series. ohiostatepress.org/books/series/2… @ohiostatepress

@arunikashyap @HarperViaBooks @VonCleland Oh congratulations Aruni!!! This is so huge and deserved!!!🔥🔥🔥

We are working on a remembrance, but we cannot overstate the influence of #FredricJameson on Duke University Press. We have made his articles in our journals freely available through October 31. "Postmodernism" is our all-time bestselling book. ow.ly/kGvQ50TtqGz

A while ago, I found a strange and beautiful literary artifact—the missing tape recordings containing the drafts of Reinaldo Arenas’s last book, Before Night Falls. I wrote about this treasure hunt (and the treasure) for @nybooks online! nybooks.com/online/2024/09…

Tonight in Philly 🤣

This collection is GREAT and everyone should preorder it.

Thanks @hanbae for including @713Books’s Fall title by Linda Watanabe McFerrin in the @sfchronicle Fall Books Preview!

I don’t think people are really understanding this cover.

I do love the fall.

Just a couple of days left until submissions open!

Last month, @smathewss came to Iowa & spent two days with Luis & me, including long conversations, a movie, grocery shopping, & dinner in our home. I’m v grateful for this profile @nymag @vulture, which includes the most beautiful description of Small Rain I’ve seen. @fsgbooks

@gradychambers87 Congratulations!

God bless these old school Publishers Marketplace announcements🤩 My first novel, GREAT DISASTERS, a coming of age story set in Chicago against the backdrop of 9/11, coming fall '25 from Tin House Books (!!!). I am so elated. For more about the book: gradychambers.com/great-disasters ♥️

Congrats Jesse! This looks beautiful...

@lcheuk OMG, I am going to be in the area in January. You are on!

@thinkhasie Come out west and I’ll take you on a tour of Monrovia 😆

I loved All Fours. Just loved it.

Don’t lollygag! Get that manuscript in!

Annual reminder to syllabus-makers: you can add information about voter registration deadlines and election dates to your course schedule 🗳️

Thank you @GovernorShapiro this is was really sweet of you to send—

Dreamed of publishing work in @coppernickel for years. So happy this new poem, "Jubilee," came to rest there. What an issue, esp. the cento-like composite on the back cover! (Ignore the haze of my camera, my souvenir from falling into a river in Iceland--another story.) 🌿
