In the past year I’ve subscribed to 2 small indie publishers for their monthly delivery. I absolutely love @microcosm.bsky.social and @deepvellum.bsky.social and they send me books each month. And I also love my local indie shop @whiteoakbooks.bsky.social who always has a great selection.

So happy to be back in the classroom with a virtual visit to Dr. Josie Saldaña’s ‘Indigenous and Latinx Speculative Film and Fiction’ class at NYU. We talked about FILTH EATERS (last book the students read for the semester). Gracias, María! ❤️👊🏼❤️ @deepvellum.bsky.social @willevans.bsky.social

A prceptive, stirring review of FILTH EATERS by @itoromo.bsky.social. “Romo writes the body with meticulous, devotional attention… The prose doesn’t separate the erotic from the predatory…That fusion is the novel’s thesis about power.” www.latinobookreview.com/filth-eaters...
