Went to the dentist to get my first ever crown put on, and it slipped out of the grip of the dentist and went straight down my throat. I choked it down after a tense minute or two. This was a couple weeks ago. Now they are ghosting me, and I'm stuck with this temporary crown.

I think the last known instance of this was written maybe 15 years ago? The updated version of this very stale joke would be that CW profs love to be like "have you read my new novel? It's about intergenerational trauma and there is also climate change"

Professors of creative writing love to be like, "Have you read my new novel? It's about a professor of creative writing who commits adultery."

No one told me about Nancy Mitford. I haven’t laughed so much from a book (The Pursuit of Love) in ages.
So far, it reminds me of Ginzburg’s Family Lexicon, in its format and style…and both lead up to WWII.

@AdamOPrice It's because of "show, don't tell." They're substituting stage directions for interiority.

A curious trend in student writing is to describe every single physical sensation a character experiences in laborious and extraordinarily tedious detail, and yet barely grant any access whatsoever to the same character's thoughts

@lesliepwriter I am so sick of the doofus interrupting perfectly good TV!

#Survivor to be interrupted for President Trump address at 9pm. They are saying 20 minute delay but who knows how long it will actually be

@Shteyngart I would actually love a Gary Shteyngart AI satire...

My new novel “Gary’s New Novel Was This Result Helpful to You?” is in big trouble.

It is truly incredible how MFA discourse almost exclusively attracts people who do not know anything about MFAs, including how they fund students—the prevailing idea about MFAs being for rich kids is based on basically one school: Columbia
sebastian castillo@bartlebytaco
also should add that like 90% of the people i know (including myself) who got an MFA did it because they were guaranteed an annual salary + health insurance for 2-3 years, some of those people acquiring health insurance for the first time in their lives

@hamburger_aaron Thank you, Aaron! Since Washingtonians like to plan ahead, should we schedule happy hour drinks now? 😏

I'm deeply honored and very excited to share some personal news:
Starting in August I'll be based at @Georgetown University as the Goldman Visiting Israeli Professor for the 2026-2027 academic year...

Real talk. I’ve sold over 350 local DC-area books since launching LitBox last year. It’s been thrilling and difficult. I’m constantly lending myself money to make it to the next month, and barely getting by, between rent, inventory, website, insurance, licensing, and taxes. 1/3

@xtebordo I love literary criticism that is based on numbers divisible by five.
English
you can let this one go when you realize that for many people 100 is simply the biggest number. 99 means almost there. 101 means nothing to them.

@PaulSkallas I suspect anyone who says he has read more than 100 books in his lifetime. A good book is read, re-read and still re-read. And you can't do this with more than a 100 books.

Yes, need I remind you that The Delegation is the perfect Valentine’s Day book. Glad they could see that it’s really a love story.
