20 years ago I was a singer-songwriter writing Wilco knock offs in my dorm room. 2 months ago I got to meet Jeff Tweedy and ask him everything about artmaking and life that I could think of. Thank you to Ben Samuel and @bombmag.bsky.social for making it happen bombmagazine.org/articles/202...

Not the best beach reading during this LA heatwave but very grateful for this first scholarly intro to my writing by Michael Kalisch. He even went into the night novels! & happy 3rd birthday to The Nature Book 🥳 doi.org/10.16995/c21...

Highly recommend Bi Gan’s Resurrection if it's playing near you. The most beautiful brilliant movie of 2025 imo. Can't believe it's not getting more attention. I've seen it twice and will see it at least twice more. Hi!

The first album I can remember buying, at age 10. No notes

"Unusual and brilliant." -- Jonathan Lethem Looking for a crime novel and/or experimental fiction? Tom Comitta's PEOPLE'S CHOICE LITERATURE: THE MOST WANTED & UNWANTED NOVELS has them both! bit.ly/41DYbPu @tomcomitta.bsky.social @columbiaup.bsky.social

📖 🎤There's still time to catch Tom Comitta on tour with PATCHWORK! @tomcomitta.bsky.social

Randomly did some research yesterday and found that in 2004 France gave 6 billion euro to the arts; USA gave 116 million. Which is to say it was already bad before it became the National Endowment of Nationalist Slop

Today my third novel, Patchwork, is released into the world! Thank you to the incredible team at @coffeehousepress.bsky.social & my brilliant editor @lizziedavis.bsky.social And to @sebastiancastillo.bsky.social, Paul Yoon, Alyssa Quinn, & Sergio De La Pava for your generous blurbs! xoxoxo

Probably my favorite essay I've written this year. Mainly on The Missing Pieces by Henri Lefebvre (@semiotexte.bsky.social) + my own brief list of literary and artistic gaps. Might keep adding to this list... Thank you to Ben & @libraryofamerica.bsky.social www.loa.org/news-and-vie...

Really enjoyed this handwritten, snail mail interview with @ericbies.bsky.social for @necessaryfiction.com . Maybe the most personal public conversation I've had yet? Also very grateful for Eric's generous introduction

It's August 19th! So happy publication day to Patchwork, Tom Comitta's latest literary supercut--an exuberant and Shandean escapade, a celebration of the history of fiction in all its bounty, and a delightful master class on narrative desire. And there is a snuffbox too!

Patchwork also gets a nice Kirkus review! 🤓🥸 www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews...

People’s Choice Literature just got this great Kirkus review out of the blue! 🤓🥸🤓

See you soon LA, NY, RI, MA, OH, and SF! 🤓 @coffeehousepress.bsky.social

Made a whole book intro video but this outtake was better

Every so often someone must wake up and realize that they voted to make a pedophile rapist the most powerful person in the world and he is using that power to steal everything he can and crush every decent person who opposes him. Maybe that’s just too hard to accept so they pretend not to understand

From the forthcoming PATCHWORK by Tom Comitta, out on August 19th. @tomcomitta.bsky.social

Our next two stunning releases... 🪡 PATCHWORK by Tom Comitta 8/19/25 🏚️HELEN OF NOWHERE by Makenna Goodman 9/9/25 @tomcomitta.bsky.social

ICYMI: Tom Comitta talks with Chad Post about storytelling, data-driven novels, and of course his books, PEOPLE'S CHOICE LITERATURE and PATCHWORK. @tomcomitta.bsky.social @chadwpost.bsky.social @openletterbooks.bsky.social threepercentproblem.substack.com/p/three-perc...

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

This is correct. We need to treat ICE agents the way that Massachusetts in the 1850s treated slave-catchers. Especially since they're about to quintuple (or so) the number of ICE agents.

So great to read this very thoughtful review by Laura Miller in @slate.com of Tom Comitta's PEOPLE'S CHOICE LITERATURE: THE MOST WANTED & UNWANTED NOVELS. bit.ly/3GoXRfB @lauramille.bsky.social @tomcomitta.bsky.social @columbiaup.bsky.social
