Missed this when it went out 3 months ago. From minute 5.16, Eric Karl Anderson expresses his excitement about reading The Coast of Everything. I wonder has he got to it yet.

Another favourite writer stepping in to support my book. Incredibly grateful to @jeffchon.bsky.social

As we approach the publication day of Guillermo Stitch's THE COAST OF EVERYTHING on June 16, we've got a few more videos of authors from reading from it. Here's Jeff Chon, author of HASHTAG GOOD GUY WITH A GUN. Thanks, Jeff! https://youtube.com/shorts/nxXbKsyuxEw

In The Rumpus, Travis Alexander on Devin Jacobsen's THE SUMMER WE ATE OFF THE CHINA: "These stories don’t offer diagnosis nor cure. They offer a way of staying with discomfort without converting it to identity or spectacle."

I'll be signing copies of My Life of Crime and drinking astonishing quantities of coffee at the Indie Lit Fair in Washington Square today. Look for the hungover author at the Sagging Meniscus table. www.clmp.org/indie-lit-fa...

I interviewed the great @stuhennigan.bsky.social about his excellent debut novel #keshed. We chatted about his layered process, the influence of poetry in his work, the complexities of writing class & gender and more. We're part of this great edition of @minorliteratures.bsky.social.

Here's a freewheeling conversation about everything and nothing between Gerry Fialka and Sagging Meniscus publisher Jacob Smullyan:

Anthony Howell on Melissa McCarthy's PHOTO, PHYTO, PROTO, NITRO in The Fortnightly Review:"McCarthy’s rabbit-holing prompts the enchanted reader to engage in similar sleuthing. This is a book that has an effect on one’s thought." fortnightlyreview.substack.com/p/is-this-a-...

New Substack. On plagiarism and plain theft.

Can’t tell you what this means to me, Jeff. A fellow writer who has decided to read only small press books this year wrote to me and asked me to recommend what I thought were the best in the last ten years. I recommended three. Hashtag was one of them.

This book is, and I don't say this lightly, one of the most rewarding reading experiences of my life.
