My novel, The Tavern at the End of History, comes out next week. In the meantime there's another excerpt (about bad curators, worse museums and who actually lives in Maine) up as one of Literary Hub's daily fiction offerings. lithub.com/title/

Large banner hangs over a building at Lake Street and Lyndale Avenue on a snowy morning. It reads "ICE OUT OF MN" "FOR GOOD" with the names of those killed by federal agents. Minneapolis, February 2026

One small thing you can do *right now* — donate $5, $10, $50, whatever you're able — to this rent fund for South Minneapolis daycare workers whose families are sheltering in place. Can we raise $5k today?? Whatever you can give matters. And if you can't give, can you share? givebutter.com/Rbpl0z

Galleys dropped! My weird novel abt art, the angels of history, Kabbalah, Yiddish poets, a dybbuk, & the dangers of trauma narratives. I pitched it (not well) as a Jewish Magic Mountain, but shorter. It's a strange book & I can't wait to share it with you. Feb 10th from Dzanc.

The #pulitzerprize writer you've never heard of wrote funny, smart stories in which women fight back against unsafe & unsanitary business practices. Sadly, her work is still relevant thanks to RFK et al, she is. Glad to have this essay in @literaryhub.bsky.social today: lithub.com/the-politics...

Such a pleasure and honor to be included in this, with all these amazing writers. It's been really nice hearing from so many readers about my strange story...

I've got a fresh nougaty essay out in the Fourth Genre. I believe it to be suitably melancholy for our times, though it also contains some good old-fashioned, time-pissing weirdness. Volume 26, Number 2, Fall. 2024, pp. 84-90, "Pionier." msupress.org/journals/fou...

Do any of you do work in other genres to support larger projects? Working on novel edits and got thinking abt this poem I wrote while drafting the book...About my wife's illness at the time but framed, or hallucinated, through the book's themes. From The Florida Review 46.1
