A TABLE FOR FORTUNE, William T. Vollmann’s long awaited novel on whatever we might call our national character - from Cold War to War on Terror - is available for preorder! 🔗 ⬇️ If not his masterpiece, then certainly yet another precious stone set in the crown of his oeuvre.

In this episode, @mookse.bsky.social and I are joined by Chris Via of @leafbyleaf.bsky.social to celebrate big books. We share stories, favorite strategies, the books that stretched us as readers, and reflect on why some big books stay with us for life. open.substack.com/pub/mookse/p...

Well, I’m as spoiled as they come. What an incredible surprise to receive a hardcover copy of William Gass’ “The Tunnel” under the tree this year 😵 And right after @leafbyleaf.bsky.social posts his 10-hour review special, too!
