Pure soy. Liberal comedian, unhinged Billy Eichner, ends all his sentences with an upward inflection because he’s actually teenage girl.

@BoulevardLitMag did you guys take the money and run. Sent subscription fee to you in July and have never heard from you or received an issue. Was I ripped off?

@Harpers A poorly written 'review' by Bucknell motivated by ideological agendas & not genuine scholarship. The authentic research needed & the context of Casanova's 18th-century adventures and misadventures are profoundly missing in this acerbic screed/rant. Damrosch's book is excellent.

The story of Casanova’s exploits offers one of the fullest records of the eighteenth-century’s strategies for representing itself: the arguments it employed to understand and justify its darkest impulses; the lies it needed to tell. harpers.org/archive/2022/1…

Looking forward to reviewing Paul Laurence Dunbar: The Life and Times of a Caged Bird. Dunbar was amazingly prolific writer during his short lifetime: 4 vol. of short stories, poems, lyrics, essays. #BookReview #poetrycommunity #history

@NBallingrud Looking forward to reviewing your new title!

Preorders are live for The Strange (link in next tweet). I know this is early, so I won't make too much fuss yet, but if you don't know already, preorders can make a HUGE difference in whether a book succeeds or fails. And to be blunt, a lot hinges on this how this book performs.

"In this world, we are the things of a moment, and are made to pursue momentary things, with here and there a thought that stretches mistily toward eternity, and perhaps may endure as long." --Nathaniel Hawthorne, "Old News"
