Kate Briggs speaks with Madhur Anand about translation, writing, her novel The Long Form (@dorothyproject.bsky.social) and more in Brick's Winter issue. Read their conversation: brickmag.com/novel-forms-...

THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF H. LAN THAO LAM by Lana Lin is a Lammy finalist! 🎉

Kate Briggs: "THE LONG FORM is in part a working out of the question of how to live together posed by Barthes in his lecture courses, and especially the co-living dynamics that might be possible between what he calls 'an unequal pair.'"

Our editor (in a silly hat) talks about her latest book (Prairie, Dresses, Art, Other from @coffeehousepress.bsky.social) and being a Dorothy fangirl at @cincinnatireview.bsky.social . . . www.cincinnatireview.com/interviews/a...

So thrilled that The Autobiography of H. Lan Thao Lam is a finalist for a 2026 Lammy that I'm trying my first bsky post (still learning)! @dorothyproject.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/lamb...

EXPOSITION by Nathalie Léger, translated by Amanda DeMarco, “sets the story of a female artist against the background of her own life and research.” From @dorothyproject.bsky.social and our #WomensHistoryMonth reading list: dorothyproject.com/book/exposit...

I think Cristina Rivera Garza is a vastly underappreciated incredible writer. A good place to start is her book The Taiga Syndrome

"Longlisted for the 2025 National Book Award for nonfiction, THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF H. LAN THAO LAM is both memoir and demystification, grappling with questions around Stein’s work, autobiography . . . and the fluidity of identity." @therumpus.net @lanalin.bsky.social therumpus.net/2026/03/12/a...

I haven't been posting too-too much about what I've been reading lately but maybe I'll start a thread on books bought at my first AWP. Just read and was delighted by these very strange Leonora Carrington stories.

This book is so smart and wonderful! Thrilled to see it getting its flowers 😍

I think about this book a lot

I love this book. Might have to reread it in honour of its tenth birthday.

I adore Margaret the First. Happy birthday, your Highness!

I loved reviewing these for Rain Taxi Review of Books in the 100th issue: raintaxi.com/volume-25-nu... This triptych is brilliant.

Here’s what I got at AWP, mostly by asking various presses what their least accessible book was

Minus the couple of books @hanvanderhart.bsky.social signed for me last night, my book haul.

First foray of bookfair stuff from AWP: @acrebooks.bsky.social @altcurrent.bsky.social @dorothyproject.bsky.social #AWP #AWP26

Also tonight!

For Women's History Month we rec Nathalie Léger's triptych: EXPOSITION, SUITE FOR BARBARA LODEN, and THE WHITE DRESS. In each, Léger sets the story of a female artist against the background of her own life and research—an archivist’s journey into the self, into the lives that history hides from us.

Tonight!

Red Emma's is well worth the visit for the @dorothyproject.bsky.social / @deepvellum.bsky.social / @twolinespress.com event and at any other time. My favorite bookstore in the town I used to call home.

AWP folks: Red Emma's might not be right by the convention center, but it's one of the best bookstores in Baltimore and has an all-vegan cafe and bar! The Charm City Circulator Purple Line is a FREE bus that will get you directly there to/from downtown. www.baltimorecity.gov/transportati...

"Genres are not well-defined or stable territories but porous living entities that mutate and challenge us at will. If we think of genre as a host—and I do—you can see fiction as that which hosts, that is, welcomes and embraces, other genres to better serve the materials" lithub.com/cristina-riv...
