Honored to have my short story on the @DisquietILP 2024 Literary prize shortlist. Absolute spot-on reading by the judges. “…strange and quiet grace” of the ending is my ❤️ thank you and congratulations to the winners!

@frynaomifry Rick Moody’s The Ice Storm is a fantastic 90s take on this

@_lanabelle I wonder how many Gen Zers Mad Men brought into the fold only for them to realize oh shit it’s not this glamorous at all

mad men is sooo good i wish advertising was real

@brecht_dp It’s a constant escalation. So good and teachable.

The kind of story you want to read again to try and figure out how on earth they did it.

@spiccarella Shadow Ticket 2?

Just read the first chapter of the best novel of 2026

@OldInternetFeel We used to have a culture

@exhaustdata I hear you, and I also want to say it’s often more than enough to render the mundane “here is what I did today” with beauty, detail, precision…not everything needs an objective remove

What makes Annie Ernaux interesting is that she waits like 40 years to write about her messy and insane feelings with a degree of perspective and remove, always triangulating who she is now in relation to who she was then. Some of you are just saying “here is what I did today”

@brecht_dp Yes!!!! Congratulations

Just had my first Pushcart nomination!

@nicholsonbaker8 @maxdaniellawton Thinking of Double Fold. I’ll try to find when you said this.

@nicholsonbaker8 @maxdaniellawton Really? I swear to the lord that I heard you say this either on a podcast or a written interview. And it made so much sense, coming from you!

Look, I know we’ve had a lot of strife and quibbles over the years, but we can all agree stickers on used books you buy online that you can’t get off without leaving a nasty residue are the proverbial bedbugs of a bookish existence.

@MICHAEL20450555 @maxdaniellawton @nicholsonbaker8 Sometimes just a barcode, but sometimes year (purchased) and price, also: how it was shelved.

@MarcoKaye @maxdaniellawton @nicholsonbaker8 What information would that be?

@JayElHarris This. 💯 this. versobooks.com/products/2769-…

@JMcNallyBooks I read Time Out of Joint in this series. My first Dick

@ademindpoems Receiving an acceptance from the Five Stages of Grief review is the best and so deserved!!!

I just skipped the five stages of grief and landed at acceptance.

@_motherslug My Phantoms is sharp like a bitter medicine. I’m onto First Love soon

A grip of upcoming.

@brecht_dp the @Powells men’s bathroom used to have grout-themed book titles “Grout Expectations,” etc. so the practices are combinable

Today I discovered I'm rather good at (and enjoy) grouting. I might have second thoughts about this writing business... 😅

@_motherslug I watched this recently and was surprised at how representative of traditional values it was, whereas when it came out it seemed edgy. Ah Crowe ah time

Singles? More like Insufferable Yuppies! What a slight movie. Fun to see all the grunge cameos, young Paul Giamatti sucking face, and an uncredited, mustachioed Victor Garber, though.

@daniel_lefferts 😬 is there some kind of embargo? But yeah stilll

Everyone's posting their Pynchon galleys but no one's saying whether it's any good...
