Gods Behaving Badly by @mpphillips is Percy Jackson for adults I am obsessed

@BrophyLevey @Andr6wMale I loved that letter so much I dragged my mum across the room just to see it. Very happy to have reunited it with you!
English
Ah yes, an excellent commentary on writing & publishers! My thanks to @Andr6wMale who has found an *echt* Brigid Brophy gem here:
I'm on Bluesky.@Andr6wMale
@BrophyLevey Hi Kate, Did you know that this wonderful letter is in the Treasures Of The British Library collection. I’m sure you did but if not…

This American Life has launched a subscription to make up for a huge fall in ad revenue. If you’re dithering, let me say they are GREAT to work with. Pay well and on time. Kind and supportive. As well as producing great shows. Your money will be well spent thisamericanlife.org/lifepartner

I have a story on this week’s @ThisAmerLife! A tale of lost friendship, extreme gardening, and menopausal geese podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/thi…

@mikeyhatesit @NaomiAKlein @scalzi @jeffvandermeer @StephenKing Thank you! I really hope you enjoy it! Enjoy them all, in fact. Poor Apollo, he’s awful but I love him anyway
English
@mpphillips @NaomiAKlein @scalzi @jeffvandermeer @StephenKing Haha! I chose your book before I got the results of the poll.
I couldn’t wait because I’ve been looking at it on the shelf at B&N for more than a year (I think?), so now I’m at the part where Apollo has met his new housekeeper.
Annihilation is in the running w/ Kaiju for next.

I was “bad” this afternoon & bought some books to try to offset my Twitter poisoning.
Where should I start?
1) Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein
2) Marie Phillips @mpphillips
3) John Scalzi @scalzi
4) Jeff Vandermeer @jeffvandermeer
Secret option: Stephen King @StephenKing On Writing

So far, #GodsBehavingBadly is pretty good. @mpphillips knows how to build a world & show (presage, really) character development from page 1: skillful economy of wordcraft.
Somehow it feels like a slow start but you look down & realize you accidentally got on a supersonic train.

@francescamain So much!! I will be recommending it far and wide
English
Just finished The Wedding People by Alison Espach (out Aug 1). A fantastic modern romance, smart, funny and humane, with beautifully-rendered characters driving the simple but satisfying plot. An intelligent, uplifting, wholly enjoyable read. Thanks for the proof @francescamain

@StuartEvers Ideally the two would be related, but I guess you could divide your entire life into “before” and “after”

Oddly precise question, for a thing: have you, or anyone you know, ever had a break up or other life crisis after reading the book South of the Border, West of the Sun by Haruki Murakami? Please share widely!
English
@mpphillips this won’t help either but, nearing the end of 1q84, i am given hope that the opposite might occur, perhaps manifested by watching the moon while drunk.
English
@KirkdaleBooks Intriguing… might have to get back to you about that!
English
@mpphillips (this won't help you!)
I read A LOT of Murakami in 2001 including that one
AND I had a major break-up that year
but the book is not part of it
because another book was:
Don DeLillo "The Body Artist"
I read it twice, very carefully the 2nd time, because it was *about that*!

My favourite thing in this week's show is an essay @mpphillips wrote for us (produced by Bim Adewunmi). It's such a wonderful piece about the memory and essence of a person. Give it a listen.

My partner @mpphillips wrote this wonderful piece for @ThisAmerLife about moving in with me and coming to terms with the memory (and belongings) of Colette. Give it a listen.
