To say this blew my mind when I heard this was happening is an understatement. Thank you to everyone who supported me and this project along the way. It was truly a journey! xoxo nytimes.com/2025/06/02/boo…

20 years ago I was a singer-songwriter making Wilco knock offs in my dorm room. 2 months ago I got to meet Jeff Tweedy and ask him everything I could think of about life and artmaking. Thank you to Ben Samuel and @BOMBmagazine for making it happen! bombmagazine.org/articles/2026/…

Not the best beach reading during the LA heatwave lol but grateful for this first scholarly intro to my writing by Michael Kalisch. He even went into the night novels! & happy 3rd birthday to The Nature Book 🥳 doi.org/10.16995/c21.1…

"[A]kin to Raymond Queneau’s *Exercises in Style*...but it also feels like a funhouse mirror of both airport fiction and experimental literature." PEOPLE'S CHOICE LITERATURE, by Tom Comitta, reviewed in @KirkusReviews bit.ly/4m8G3Vx @TomComitta @ColumbiaUP
