"An ode to language and memory, Child of Light is ... nominally about the arrival, in the nineteenth century, of widespread electrification in the United States but is also, and more deeply, about the competing claims of science and spirituality as ways of understanding reality."

One of a few new horizons for the Tit:

Recently acquired books from @bitterkarella.bsky.social @whiskeytit.com @kaijupoet.bsky.social @davidscotthay.bsky.social

Best part of Printer’s Row is being in the orbit of such talented local writing. We love our bizarro friends!

Finished [NSFW] and went straight into the forthcoming Butcher of Nazareth and was immediately struck by what a versatile writer David Scott Hay is. Two totally different novels, each one captivating in its own way. @davidscotthay.bsky.social @whiskeytit.com

Thanks to The Galena Gazette’s Murphy Obershaw for this really amazing home county coverage of MORE HELL’s release. 🌽 💙 🔥 www.galenagazette.com/news/stockto... @whiskeytit.com

I understand the feeling of hopelessness, but the book is not a product. It’s art, and the making of art is meaningful and human and an act of subversion in an inhumane world. We need books more than ever.

hell yes it did!

@vol1brooklyn.bsky.social recommends #ChildofLight - coming 8/12 from @whiskeytit.com <3 <3 <3

Yesterday was my 36th birthday. Which means I’ve lived my childhood twice. Or as I prefer to think of it, the beginning of my Walt Whitman era. Hare some places you can buy yourself something that would make me smile. Dig a book from my distributor Asterism: asterismbooks.com/product/more...

"To translate is not simply to transfer content between two languages, but rather to reread, re-interpret, update, recreate, and joyfully and recreationally generate a source anew."

If you believe in dream analysis, I'd love to know about deciding to leave one's passport at home in the interest of spontaneity, getting stuck in an embassy dodging officials & rescuing a giant talking gecko from overprotective salivary glands, a process that requires hands in sticky places.

I love when people review our books, regardless of whether they generate sales. We need more people reading and writing about literature critically and thoughtfully. Support those brave fools willing to take on reviews. "Engage" with all of them. And FFS buy yourself a damned book.
