@CalMorgan @Center4Fiction "Dance, Dance, Dance" is one of the first Murakamis I loved, and it doesn't seem to get mentioned much. Intimate much like "Wood" is.

About to finish this, just hours after honoring Mr. Murakami at the @Center4Fiction gala. What should I read next? Please reply with a banger

RIP Edmund White, whose writing meant so much to many. I wrote about my own strong connection to his work and to LGBTQ+ literature in @KirkusReviews a few years ago. ow.ly/H25F50W4aEe #EdmundWhite

Is it normal to say “We look forward to being there!” when you’re talking about a funeral?

James Wood's second straight game with an opposite-field homer! 💪

"The social utility of photojournalism has eroded as images are Photoshopped, morphed, repeated & politicized in ways that make even outsize tragedies feel mundane": @mathitak on THE SYNTHETIC EYE by Fred Ritchin @thamesandhudson @On_The_Seawall bit.ly/4kJpT4C

@MarkZuckerman Ah, thank you!

@mathitak No it’s correct. First batter of game reached on an error. Next guy homered, so that’s 1 earned run. There were 2 outs when all the other runs scored, so those are all unearned cause the inning would’ve been over without the earlier error.

On his 38th pitch of the 1st inning, Jake Irvin gave up a grand slam to former Nats prospect Jakson Reetz. Davey Martinez is going to have to pull him here with that high pitch count, but he should come back for the 2nd thanks to spring training rules.

There is a legendary story concerning the acquisition of this book, for which I was present, and I will gladly tell it to anyone for the price of a cup of coffee

David Keith Lynch was born in Missoula, Montana, on January 20, 1946. His father, Donald Walton Lynch (1915–2007), was a research scientist working for the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

@teresaktraverse Every generation has its own kind of "authenticity" police. It was more intense with Dylan because he was so beloved, and because the (acoustic) folk revival (that he helped spearhead) was so tied up in ideas of social progress.

@mathitak Thank you! I can’t say that I saw how it was such a big deal.

Can someone explain to me why Dylan going electric was such a big deal? #bobdylan
