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-...

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.

My review of The Coast of Everything by @guillermostitch.bsky.social felcherman.wordpress.com/2026/02/15/t... Loved it, proper epic piece of work @saggingmeniscus.bsky.social #books

Washington Post is shuttering its book section, part of the ongoing war against literacy & knowledge. We at Current Affairs want to pick up the slack by expanding book reviews. Writers: pitch us anytime! And if you subscribe/donate we'll use the funding to commission book coverage.

This novel is like five novels in one while still being a single novel. It's a delight. Pre-orderrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

V pleased with this line - "Instead small groups preferred to sit chastely beneath the nightingales, the females in the crowd listening with great patience as the males expounded upon the tonal qualities of each strain and its place in the history of birdsong." www.vol1brooklyn.com/2026/01/11/s...
