I can't wait to read this book!

Congrats to Full Stop Interviews Ed. Kyle Williams! 🍾

"The only way I could approach writing something that means this much to me was to find moments of beauty and hope and connection in a very hard and ugly history." —@Puyana discusses his debut novel, FREEDOM IS A FEAST, with Full Stop's @KyleFWill: full-stop.net/2024/08/20/int….

"We do everyone a favor by refusing to romanticize and by acknowledging the material reality that shapes the books we read." @PublicBooks continues the essential work of demystifying the book industry in this interview with @dan_sinykin publicbooks.org/life-inside-th…

This is probably my favorite part of the story I just had published in @adroitjournal: the immense sadness of dreaming of labor. theadroitjournal.org/issue-forty-ei…

@valerie_reads Visit me at the Soho location sometime!

This was fun.

"Boring, as far as felonies went." I have a new short story out today about a young man who decides to grow weed in his closet. It's called "Building Character." Thank you @adroitjournal for publishing it. theadroitjournal.org/issue-forty-ei…

For far too long the business of bookselling has been romanticised, in effect ignoring that it is a business after all.

Misc reminders happy new year everyone

Woulda coulda shoulda

I'm mostly not on Twitter anymore but I put too much effort into making these slides for just my stories so here's some highlights from my year in reading.

@KyleFWill @cummins_megan @PublicBooks This was really incredible. Thank you for writing this.

My morning today starts with bringing 115 boxes off a UPS truck and into the bookstore. Here's my essay on how we talk about labor in the book industry @PublicBooks : publicbooks.org/there-is-no-su…

Everyone working in retail this week deserves a medal.

It’s admirable that “The Art of Libromancy” seeks to deconstruct book-selling, @kylefwill writes, but the book’s allergy to critiquing the forces of capitalism that structure the industry leaves its analysis lacking and its prescriptions limited. buff.ly/41i4zdg
