Wow, thank you Financial Times!!

"These are not extraordinary people, these are not unique circumstances. We could be them—which is what makes these otherwise quiet, funny novels feel so dangerous." Annie Berke considers timelines not taken in “The Ten Year Affair” and “Wreck” https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/theres-no-telling/

Very cool to that a lot of people read Pleasantries!!

Fun!

So many times in this story, I read experiences of other people and felt seen for the first time. The loneliness is brutal, which seems odd as you’re with another person or people all day. But the person you want to be with is barely home. Thank you, Erin.

For @gqmagazine.bsky.social, I spent the summer talking to stay at home dads about what their lives are like. Huge thanks to everyone who spoke to me and to the magazine for handling the piece with such care.

My first book pubs today, and among other things it is a love letter to Chicago — the city and the communities that have been a tenth muse for me. Margaret C. Anderson's story is also, I hope, a reminder that good art requires taking big risks. www.simonandschuster.com/books/A-Dang...

I am such an admirer of Patrick Nathan’s writing, so I was thrilled to read his incredible essay about my book and the infidelity novel.

So well deserved. THE TEN YEAR AFFAIR is funny and poignant and everything you want in a great novel.

Made it 8 pages before i laughed, out loud, at @somers.bsky.social's THE TEN YEAR AFFAIR

Absolutely loved @somers.bsky.social's new novel The Ten Year Affair. I really dug the original short story but everything she did to expand upon and deepen the characters is so thoughtful and insightful. It's also incredibly funny. Easily one of my favorite books of 2025.

“If a comedic work is successful, you probably can’t see the effort. If it’s very successful, it will seem almost off-the-cuff, like it was created that moment. This is why a lot of ponderous books end up over-praised." - @somers.bsky.social countercraft.substack.com/p/processing...

new newsletter! it includes an apology to readers, some quick thoughts on @somers.bsky.social excellent new novel, a take on “roofman,” and more:
