Day #1 of Fall 2025 in the books! My students are engaged and enthusiastic. We had an awesome discussion about the horror genre and the depiction of women’s bodies. So looking forward to the rest of the semester! @jhuartssciences.bsky.social

THE LOST BOOK OF ADANA MOREAU should already be on your list! Here's our conversation with @maiagiladi.bsky.social about it: ancillaryreviewofbooks.org/2025/05/19/a...

Extremely cool news; keep your eyes out for THE CENSUS TAKER

The first review of my book is here! Thank you Marion Rohrleitner for this generous review. It’s a dream to be read at all, but even more so in this way. Mil gracias! amst.winter-verlag.de/data/article...

Fantastic talk, do not miss: the book as "living object", the seriousness of laughter as resistance, and some really fascinating discussion of editing and translating.

I had the chance to interview Alvaro Enrigue about his novel, Tu sueño imperios han sido (You Dreamed of Empires), for the Novel Dialogue podcast. It was a great conversation! Check it out! noveldialogue.org/2025/06/05/9...

I'm floored. Mil gracias for your careful brilliant read! A writer can ask for nothing more than this.

To be read with such curiosity, joy and brilliance is all a writer could ever ask for. Mil gracias @maiagiladi.bsky.social and @mealofthorns.bsky.social.

Look at this beautiful thematic brainstorm my students did for @michaelzapata.bsky.social’s gorgeous book, The Lost Book of Adana Moreau. (Not pictured, another board w/ time periods, character names, literary references, & geographies). It was an amazing conversation! @jhuartssciences.bsky.social

Allison is an incredible developmental editor who helped me hone my project and see it to publication. Thank you so much for your support!

What if, @maiagiladi.bsky.social asks, Latinx speculative fiction—"which has taught me to read for elements in the text that lie hidden and to identify the excessive in what passes as mundane”—can be a method, a source of “reading protocols,” and not just an object of analysis?

How can depictions of historical violence be pleasurable? And why does a book about Latinx speculative fiction feature Colson Whitehead and Sesshu Foster? For answers, read DOOM PATTERNS: LATINX SPECULATIONS AND THE AESTHETICS OF VIOLENCE by @maiagiladi.bsky.social (@dukepress.bsky.social)! A 🧵

Reading list ready for Spring 2025! Grad seminar “Race, Aesthetics, Speculation” and undergrad class “Monsters, Haunting, and the Nation.” So much good spooky stuff! @jhuartssciences.bsky.social

Top new release!

so cool seeing doom patterns out in the wild! and with the best editor! thank you @dukepress.bsky.social @ccberg.bsky.social
