A noir delight, Claire Oshetsky's "Evil Genius" recounts one young woman's volatile coming-of-age in 1970s San Francisco. Out Tuesday from @eccobooks. Here's my review for @nytimes: nytimes.com/2026/02/15/boo…

Kim Samek debuts with a striking collection of fantastical and speculative stories about conformity, technology, and the limits of bodily autonomy. This dazzles. buff.ly/IlUWxvB

Ed Park delivers banger upon banger in his brilliant collection, "An Oral History of Atlantis," out next week from @randomhouse. Come for the mysterious Hans de Krap; stay for the lesbian assassin and the 18 (or 19?) Tinas. Here's my rave for @latimes: latimes.com/entertainment-…

@HamiltonCain Big fan of Ed Park. His novel felt like a breath of fresh air from another era for sure!
