I have a new story in this one👇👇

Serious question: Am I just old? (61M) Or did things actually used to be better?

Post surgery blues:

We’re all being punished because a bunch of unattractive billionaires are mad they can only buy the faux respect of sycophants, and not real cultural influence.

I made a title card for my new book. I guess it's a way to make it feel real. Even though I've written eight books now, it's still weirdly hard to believe that I could ever finish another one. It seems impossible. A penny dropped in the wishing well.

I am pleased to learn that Sam Irby likes my novel

On first glance I thought it was a brain~~😐

Wonderful story 👇

"The circus seemed like a very particular metaphor for American life: the dream of escaping and being special, alongside the pressure to conform and not be a 'freak.'" Dan Chaon speaks with Sanjena Sathian about his new novel, "One of Us." https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/blambustercated/

Sad to hear that the great Daniel Woodrell has passed. His work meant a lot to me.

We're revisiting our back catalogue and the ONLY original novel we've published—M. Rickert's "The Shipbuilder of Bellfairie." This exquisite mystery is an amalgam of Frankenstein, and A Confederacy of Dunces. We want you to read it. The eBook is on sale for just $2. undertowpublications.com/ebooks

Poets save the world! Woo-hoo! (But also don't overpraise them because then they will lose their talent)

It’s nice to rest your muzzle on an end table while gazing out the window.

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16…?
