I am one of the many!

@cairoasmith Your a colorful reimagineer!

Hey that's me.

Many are indeed saying 😎 #youngauthors #metropolitanreview #scenebux #zoomerlit #genz #GenZ #literature #modernliterature @newritualpress @baltic_dan @cairoasmith

@cairoasmith More proof that the Aztecs actually invented brutalist architecture.

There's a common misconception that Brutalist buildings were unpainted, but thanks to microscopic analysis of the exteriors we can now recreate what they looked like in their prime.

@cairoasmith And a not-too-shabby one seems to love the writer. Just sayin.

Writers are allowed to have a small piece of Hershey's chocolate after lunch when the most esteemed literary magazine in the world just asked to review their novel. (It's me, I'm the writer.)

Hated his guts?! Sir, you flatter me!

@RamboVanHalen @ZOO_CROO Preach!

Los Angeles smells good. There's always something blooming. There's the fresh cut grass. There's the ocean too. Even the smog--the solution--it smells good. It's a warm place. You could walk around naked. Clothing is a cultural formality, not a utility. The seasons are barely perceptible, so it's easy to lose track of time. You get sucked in and years go by. It's a seductive place. And those who aren't immediately repulsed will be seduced.

Wait! This one wants to go!

Excited for you guys to read my upcoming work.

@newritualpress Amaze! Amaze! Amaze!

Amazing!

My son walking for the first time since his injury. I don’t have the words to describe how this feels.

He's right behind me, isn't he...😳 With my friend @GetMeSmith headed to Charlotte for TCG Con where we'll both be appearing all weekend...see you there! 🛫🥳✍🏻📷

Hey! I know those guys!!

@cairoasmith @baltic_dan I love this logo so much!

Coming soon. New season. New format. New lit drama. The Futurist Letters Show is back.

Come for the logo! Stay for the content!

@cairoasmith @newritualpress You had me at Eve Harrington!

Dear friends and colleagues, Today, my friends at New Ritual Press announced A Cancellation, my second novel from them, out May 30th. I started trying to write this story in September of 2023, which is the month the novel concludes. For a long time it was called Amanda Here, the name of the subject’s vlogging channel. After a good amount of searching, though, I realized A Cancellation was what it had to be, in the tradition of A Teacher and A Separation. In this book a woman named Amanda is doing a bad job running her life. She has a successful business as an internet skit artist, but she started it fourteen years ago and it’s increasingly a relic in the new attention economy. She also has a lot of psychosexual and relational problems that only get get worse and worse. I don’t like to explicitly pathologize my characters, but you obviously can. Anyway, Amanda blows up her life and her channel and it just keeps going down, down, down to a bitter public end. There’s a potential stalker, an Eve Harrington of an assistant, a nest of YouTuber gossip vipers, and a lot of other fairly well-researched disasters. I lived a couple blocks from my strictly fictional character of Amanda Bannington, and even saw her house, although I never saw her. I hope you will find A Cancellation a bleakly entertaining and authentic look behind the curtain at second-string internet celebrities and the tangled web they weave. I’m grateful it has a home with the good people of New Ritual Press. You can pre-order a Kindle copy now. There is no pre-order for the paperback but it will be purchasable online when the book comes out on May 30th. If you are a writer yourself and you would like a free advance copy for the purposes of writing a review, please reach out to me or New Ritual for one. You could always run your review on your own blog, or submit it around to journals and magazines for publication. Either way we will try to get you some network-effect traffic. There is no official review embargo, but I recommend you time your review release around or after the May 30th novel release date. If you run text interviews or a podcast, I am also probably more than happy to appear or give an interview, and can do video. Just ask. All my best, Cairo

Yup, it’s true.

Awww you flatter me! 10 years?! Wow, how time flies.
