We're all in a suspicious mood now that LLMs are churning out billions of words a day. It's unclear who is passing off AI text as their own. What about the people whose writing just happens to sound like AI? I talked to a bunch of them! nymag.com/intelligence...

Kate Riley joined a Christian commune to figure out how to live well. What she found was more complicated.

Kate Riley's first (and maybe last) novel Ruth is one of my favorite books I've read in a long time, odd and funny and totally singular. For @TheCut, I talked to her about the fascinating communal-living experience that led her to write it www.thecut.com/article/kate...

I talked to Ottessa Moshfegh, Lucy Sante, and others about the freeform "literary busking" they're doing over on Substack for @vulture.com / @nymag.com www.vulture.com/article/subs...

if you go on a hunger strike and your local newspaper is too hollowed out to even write it up, what happens next? I reviewed Hilary Plum's intriguing new novel, State Champ, for @thecut.com www.thecut.com/article/revi...

In Hilary Plum’s ‘State Champ,’ our main character is a charismatic screwup, Angela, the receptionist at a women’s-health clinic in an unnamed U.S. state who stages a hunger strike after an abortion doctor is sent to prison.

Congratulations to Hilary Plum on this review by Emma Alpern in The Cut - link below @bloomsburybooksus.bsky.social @thecut.com @emmaalpern.bsky.social
