Mateo Askaripour

Another horcrux. My third novel, PURE OX, out 2026. Be careful what you dream. Thank you to everyone still reading BLACK BUCK, who opened up THIS GREAT HEMISPHERE & made it to the end. Sending you and your families nothing but good energy. I pray 2025 is your best year yet.

Hey everyone, paperback version of THIS GREAT HEMISPHERE drops next month, & I have the honor of sharing space with Robert Jones Jr. at @yuandmebooks, on 7/8 at 7pm in Manhattan. If you have the time & are in town, it'd be great to see you. RSVP here: yuandmebooks.com/products/book-…

So...this happened! I still can't believe it. What a surprise! I never thought I would be in @RollingStone, but all things are possible for those who believe. Thank you Time Chan for the unexpected surprise. I truly appreciate it! Does this mean I'm a rockstar? LOL!

@rubenwrites Stunning!

@kennedyrwrites @BellCV @BostonGlobe Thank you, Kennedy! Really grateful for this one. And yes, see you soon 🥳

@AskMateo @BellCV @BostonGlobe Congratulations! Carole is truly so great. If she loves it, that says a lot! And see you in NYC soon 🫶🏽

What a headline. I promise, there's also levity, adventure, & characters to both root for & despise. Love–of family, self–paired with the belief that the world can be improved upon, is the novel's engine. Thanks to @BellCV & @bostonglobe for this review: bostonglobe.com/2024/07/09/art…

Wonderful to see such talents @ReginaMPorter and @AskMateo in conversation last night at @booksaremagicbk! Happy pub week to The Rich People Have Gone Away by Regina Porter! And big shout out to This Great Hemisphere by Mateo Askaripour! 🎉🎊🎂🎉😍

"Please keep me in mind for so-and-so" can lead to incredible opportunities.

@melloftheball Thank you, Melissa.

“We stop restricting the breadth of our sight to roles, statuses, various affiliations. We make a conscious effort to first see others, and ourselves, as that label which will never fade: people.” this piece from @AskMateo is exactly what i needed today time.com/6995869/feelin…

@OliviaAdekola @TIME Yeah, trying to provide context when appropriate. Thank you for reading and picking up TGH, Olivia.

@AskMateo @TIME “…how we, as a species, too readily ignore the humanity in others—“ Great read, Mateo! I started TGH last night and appreciate the insight into where the seed for this book came from.

On tour, I'd sometimes ask an audience to raise their hands if they'd ever felt invisible, and every hand would go up. I explore this feeling, as well as family, history, psychology, and the current state of the world, in my first piece for @TIME. time.com/6995869/feelin…

@DouglasMGordon @TIME Thank you, Doug.

@AskMateo @TIME This is a great piece, Mateo! CONGRATULATIONS!

Chatting with Doug and @wprBETA is one of the things I look forward to most now when doing book publicity. Thanks for this conversation, Doug. Appreciate your energy.

@SokeSleezy Ha! You know anything can happen after someone begins a sentence like that. Thank you for reading and taking the time with my work, bro. And for those kind words. Frfr. Glad this latest book was worth the time.

The minute i read "good morning ladies and gentlemen sorry for the interruption..." i knew this book was gonna live up to expectations! Another hit bro! @AskMateo #ThisGreatHemisphere

@JayREllis 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

Happy book day to my brother @JayREllis!! DID EVERYONE HAVE AN IMAGINARY FRIEND! (OR JUST ME) out today. And man, look at this book box! Legendary.
