I went on and on for 10k words about Gary Amdahl's Visigoth (it's that good). longform.wdclarke.org/visigoth-sto...

Angels of History Incoming!

Here it is! The first @galleon-books.bsky.social title authored by a woman. Long overdue, but worth the wait. #canlit

Words, hopefully, not to have lived by (fr Thomas Pynchon's 1990 novel, Vineland)

All emerged unscathed...

Galleys dropped! My weird novel abt art, the angels of history, Kabbalah, Yiddish poets, a dybbuk, & the dangers of trauma narratives. I pitched it (not well) as a Jewish Magic Mountain, but shorter. It's a strange book & I can't wait to share it with you. Feb 10th from Dzanc.

The new novel from our Executive Editor...

If you are at all familiar with the #rickbrick from @coronasamizdat.bsky.social you'll understand why I'm not attempting to wield the knife required to open one until I've had at least a second coffee...

This audiobook is now live, link in reply... (The author has forgone royalties for this novel, audio and print...all proceeds go to the c\s fundraiser)

Our books are printed in/shipped from Slovenia, not print-on-demand, and can be ordered at coronasamizdat.com (payments via secure provider Stripe) Ebooks, increasingly available through the usual outlets, courtesy of friends at redfiendpub.com

We are Corona\Samizdat, Slovenia's most popular English language publisher, noted for our fat pocket books and for championing buried modern classics and exploratory new fiction—and these are the first 35 of our books.

White Mythology is farcical, fun, hilarious & wry. A featherlight fiction of ideas--like some wacked out mixture of Spinoza, Walker Percy and Pynchon on a not-so-paranoid day. This is to say, it's a wild ride of register shifts, and I think it'd be a great book to listen to.

Cover reveal for the forthcoming audiobook edition ( @coronasamizdat.bsky.social 's first!) of my novel White Mythology. It's narrated by the great L.J. Ganser, who also narrates many of economist Thomas Picketty's books as well as A.J. Pearson's Cow Country, from @coweyepress.bsky.social

Thinking of Benjamin, still unpacking my "library", but here's shelves dedicated to @coronasamizdat.bsky.social (top/bottom) and @galleon-books.bsky.social and friends' and colleagues books (bottom)

Writers, share a picture of your books! authorgreene.com/publications... #writingcommunity

Let me know if you want an ARC.

Still hawkmothing this limited edition, a book for math nerds, fans of politically incorrect humor, a smattering of gore, those who love/hate Florida, minivans, Dwayne the Rock Johnson, fake Woke, cheaply made clothing, groaner jokes, Orange Julius, lisping immortal demons... Oh I could go on!

A new post is up on the blog featuring the cover art for Fallen Angels. Slated for release Winter 2026 with: @galleon-books.bsky.social @galleonbooks.bsky.social stephen-hayes.ghost.io/fallen-angel...

Burroughs recommends....

This fall Corona \ Samizdat will publish as one volume Fight for Your Long Day and the novel's sequel. #booksky #bookchallenge #comic #adjunct #literary #novel #fiction kudera.blogspot.com/2025/01/coro...

For Pride Month, I'll be posting some of my recent creative and scholarly works each day. All of these pieces are available for free online! 🌈💖💜💙 First up: "Silent as the Grave" in JAKE: jakethemag.com/silent-as-th...

Every so often, someone will reply to or quote smthg I've posted with "hOw dARe a prOfEsSor wRiTE tHaT," as though I am a public utility responsible to their expectations. Reminds me of the morality clauses once imposed on female schoolteachers. I've never seen such comments directed at male profs.

Among his many other virtues as a writer, Gary Amdahl's multi-epigraphs never disappoint
