My new novel IN THE SIGHT is out today from @WhiskeyTitBooks! I'll be making a stop at @TwoDollarHQ tomorrow to chat about it with the great @BelaKoeKrompech - and then it's on to AWP.

Chatted with Adrian Nathan West about his work translating Mario Vargas Llosa. vol1brooklyn.com/2026/04/30/adr…

@johnpmerrick Thank you!

This is an excellent essay on the fascinating figure of Nicholas Mosley –– a brilliant novelist and writer who spent his career wrestling with his father's political legacy

At @lithub, I wrote about Nicholas Mosley's books and his father's unpleasant legacy. lithub.com/anti-fascist-w…

Thanks to @TobiasCarroll for having me on his terrific podcast FRAMED AND BOUND. We discussed the 1990 film TUNE IN TOMORROW, adapted from a Mario Vargas Llosa novel. Barbara Hershey, Keanu Reeves, and a clearly having fun Peter Falk star. framedandbound.libsyn.com/site/tune-in-t…

I recommended some February books at InsideHook... insidehook.com/books/books-re…

@walterkirn That wasn't really my takeaway from reading articles like this, I must say. theatlantic.com/politics/2026/…

A bizarre state-within-a-state is emerging in metro Minnesota as the conventional civil authorities, having given it their blessing, step aside. Soon it will have its own police force, I expect.

@walterkirn Don't think I've ever seen the "national divorce" argument made quite like this.

Minnesota needs to be kicked out. Can we kick states out?

Earlier this month, I moderated an NBCC panel on newsletters and arts criticism. That panel is now available to watch online! youtube.com/watch?v=N8gW8b…

Make way for @TobiasCarroll's January and February indie press recs! Featuring New Testament horror, "gothic whimsy", and, because you've been good, a new Nicola Griffith collection: reactormag.com/cant-miss-indi…

@NydiaVelazquez As one of your constituents, I'm glad to see this statement.

In the dark of night, the so-called “no new wars” president bombed another country and launched an illegal regime change war that Americans do not want. This military campaign is illegal, plain and simple. It is not about drugs or helping the Venezuelan people. It is about control of Venezuela’s oil and natural resources. Congress must immediately vote to end this war.

thanks for the mention! @InsideHook @TobiasCarroll

ICYMI, I wrote about Paul Kingsnorth's new book for Zona Motel. (Spoilers: I had some issues with it.) zonamotel.substack.com/p/review-paul-…

I read Paul Kingsnorth's new book. I had some issues with it. And at Zona Motel, I went into some detail about what those issues were. zonamotel.substack.com/p/review-paul-…

Over at @reactormag, I wrote about Mark Z. Danielewski's epic new novel, which turns a familiar Western plot into the literal stuff of myth. reactormag.com/book-review-to…

Mark Z. Danielewski is most known for House of Leaves. But his new Western/quest novel/ghost story (?) Tom's Crossing challenges readers in a wholly unique way: a story about human connection that @TobiasCarroll also dubs "equine Transcendentalist canon": reactormag.com/book-review-to…

I recommended some December books for @InsideHook! insidehook.com/books/books-re…

As the year nears its end, it's the perfect time to round out your TBR with an excellent indie press novel. @TobiasCarroll recommends the wolfish "proto-fantasy" that inspired Tolkien, an extended space race, and deeply untrustworthy furniture. reactormag.com/cant-miss-indi…

ICYMI: I wrote about an unsettling Barry N. Malzberg novel from the 1970s about a troubled ex-president for Zona Motel. zonamotel.substack.com/p/review-by-ni…

Wrote about Barry N. Malzberg's surprisingly prescient THE LAST TRANSACTION for Zona Motel. zonamotel.substack.com/p/review-by-ni…

Wrote about some notable November books over at @InsideHook. insidehook.com/books/10-books…
