Happy Purim, a holiday that celebrates the overthrow of a petty tyrant and demagogue. I made cherry hamantaschen with mini chocolate chips.

Excellent job, Senator Slotkin! youtu.be/gVuvIIsDwj0?...

I'm teaching an online class for Politics and Prose called "Elegant Rulebreakers: W. G. Sebald and Rachel Cusk." Want to learn how these wonderful writers break the rules without sacrificing elegance in prose? This is the class for you! politics-prose.com/list/online-...

Julian Barnes's The Noise of Time is a beautiful book about the difficult choices artists have to make while living under tyranny. Fans of classical music and Shostakovich must read this one. www.julianbarnes.com/books/noise....

A couple images from the Bridge Book Awards panel in NYC this week, with an apropos thought to share given what's happening in our world right now. (Also, they caught me drinking water!)

Some great news to share. My next novel, The Shiva Bandit, has been acquired by the wonderful team that brought you Hotel Cuba. Due out in 2026. I couldn't be more thrilled!

Thrilled to travel to Rome this week to accept this great honor for Hotel Cuba and to meet the other prize winners!

Really beautiful stories. Recommend! bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

I'm thrilled to share that Hotel Cuba has won the 2024 Bridge Book Award in American Fiction! premioletterariothebridge.org/en/
