Hey friends, Submarines is a blast and you need it in your life.

lazy morning here and I sat on my couch and read the first half of this, and what a treat. best, fave, most fun "hang out" novel I've read in a while. treat yourself and preorder this rn!

The next @malarkeybooks.bsky.social title! Terrestrial by @suzyeynon.bsky.social is beautiful and unique and worth your time!

Bookstore signing today. Someone came in to ask me questions about the book and told me it’s one of her favorite books. There are moments in this whole thing where it feels especially worth it.

The young people that were against Iraq are now 40-50 and they’re still being told to go fuck themselves despite the fact that this was the formative event for them

I long for the "painting in your pocket" days but I think these are pretty banger, ngl

Editorial from our student newspaper: "In its tireless support for AI, the University has essentially endorsed shortcuts and the outsourcing of academic thinking"

You should also buy Sheldon’s excellent collection from @malarkeybooks.bsky.social! My favorite story of his is the one where a guy gets a coat made of gorilla fur malarkeybooks.com/store/pavement

If there is a point to being human, it probably is something stupid like writing poems and songs. So go write your book. Do your part.

Kramer’s is an awesome bookstore. You should come to this!!

Someone came to the Stanchion booth @ awp shortly after stopping @malarkeybooks.bsky.social & they had Still Alive by @ljabouttown.bsky.social in hand, so I basically ceased talking to people about Stanchion shit and gushed over Still Alive instead. One of my favorite reads ever.

Want to see this get so popular!

i LOVE this books DO NOT have expiration dates!

Wishing a swift death to Grammarly.

this is also my favorite review

I love Alan’s description of Pigs here—also he’s not wrong about the NPR thing even though NPR might be surprised to learn that. Thanks to everyone at AWP who helped dwindle down the restock of my book. I sold way more copies than I thought I would!

Deliver Thy Pigs delivers. malarkeybooks.com/store/delive...

I think it’s more important for a book or film to enter people’s lives over time, than in it is for it to get a lot of attention at once. So if you want to read my book, now is also good. It’s fine if it has been a couple years since it came out. eveninghousebooks.com/product/stil...

your entire life has brought you to this moment

Pick up @spencerfleury.bsky.social collection from @malarkeybooks.bsky.social

Fantastic closing, too: “You plant seeds and you hope,” Pao said, of efforts that at times feel like tilting at windmills. “You hope that in the long term you’re helping them become happy human beings, who are able to take a walk, and experience things, and describe things for themselves.”

Malarkey Books is the best; an island of honesty and plain dealing; a deposition of simple virtue; a fine and good thing the type of which is becoming rarer than hens teeth in this world falling fast into the toilet. Support good things! Buy Malarkey Books!

Moved this year and am just now unpacking boxes and found this treasure, still in its shipping envelope. It must have arrived the day before I moved. So fun to get it now, like a belated birthday present. @renbolger.bsky.social @malarkeybooks.bsky.social

Our rights aren't up to ICE agents to decide.

Some recent informal book reviews

For weeks now, I've shared information about HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS protesting ICE REGULARLY. So much so that whole states like Kansas and Texas are rolling out LAWS to sanction schools and laws to criminalize TEENAGERS. Please let's be serious.

would have to say the most bizarre element of this take is that we're invited to imagine that the people motivated solely by hatred of the Democratic party do not oppose the Republican party

I’m booked out for a lot of weekend events but still very much available if anyone wants to interview me about the book :)
