As #NYFF63 opens tonight, now is as good a time as any to revisit my @nyreviewofarch.bsky.social round-up of last year’s slate. nyra.nyc/articles/fol...

Service by John Tottenham from @semiotexte.bsky.social. It’s extraordinary, but don’t take my word for it… bsky.app/profile/andr...

Happy 101st to James Baldwin. I wrote this for @readliberties.bsky.social on the occasion of his centennial. libertiesjournal.com/online-artic...

Today is #bandcampfriday and some of you haven’t heard Deposition yet. pizzaguy.bandcamp.com/album/deposi...

Once more for the weekend crowd.

Extremely proud of my students Gabby and Gabriel, who won the New York Public Library’s James Baldwin Teen Creative Contest and got to meet his nephew Trevor.

www.thenation.com/article/cult... "Everything Is Now feels like the culmination of a life’s work, the New York book that Hoberman was born to write." As the child of a lifelong city worker & a Brooklyn College educated social worker, I can say that's true.

For @thenation.com, I wrote about J. Hoberman’s New York. www.thenation.com/article/cult...

#booksky for #booklovers of #essays and #nonfiction 📚💙 A classic appreciation of James Baldwin, and a superb, original, and insightful intellectual essay: Freelance Blues — James Baldwin in the Magazines. By Andrew Marzoni libertiesjournal.com/online-artic...

libertiesjournal.com/online-artic... "Without a robust vanguard of publishers, editors, writers, and readers fighting to persist with Baldwin's long overdue critique, the fire will go out before it can spread."

“Slowcore show at the @versobooks.bsky.social office” sounds like the title of a song I would write, but it’s also a very real thing happening on May 30. www.versobooks.com/blogs/news/d...

"At its core, baseball is a bourgeois parody of capitalism, affording the proletariat a chance to be boss for once, and a cheer is a gift to the working man, a token of appreciation for clocking in on the days when we don’t have to." Happy Opening Day! reallifemag.com/please-clap/

At long last, the second Pizza Guy LP, Deposition, is coming out next month.

One year before NO OTHER LAND wins: www.theguardian.com/film/2024/ma...

Tonight’s the night.

Tomorrow night @ Pete’s!

Only one more week before Pizza Guy returns to Pete’s Candy Store. Documentary footage of Leonard Cohen opens at 6:30, the Wild Thorns follow at 10.

This is the best club I’ve ever been a part of. go.bsky.app/Fncfb1h

We are seeing a lot of new people on bluesky recently, including many of our own contributors and favorite writers, so we put together this handy starter pack. go.bsky.app/Jx9zvYU

“From the outset, this was to be a feast of table scraps, a carnival of stolen valor, a gala for also-rans, a celebration of prestigious mediocrity.” Andrew Marzoni (@andrewmarzoni.bsky.social) razzes the New York Film Festival in NYRA no. 43/44. nyra.nyc/articles/fol...

“Does Billy Joel suck? A valid question, but not one that I would recommend asking too loudly around these parts.” Andrew Marzoni (@andrewmarzoni.bsky.social) is in a Long Island state of mind in NYRA no. 43/44. nyra.nyc/articles/onl...

We’re coming back to Pete’s on 2/13.

In a coffee shop listening to an old man explain to a young woman whose neck he keeps kissing between turning away from her and calling her “crazy,” that he has to go back to the casino, he has to work after all. A reminder that in NYC at any given moment you can find a Cassavetes movie.

Lovely to see my writing in print every now and then.

I wrote a few words about Gary Indiana and Franz Kafka for the January issue of @harpers.bsky.social. harpers.org/archive/2025...

I also drove out to Long Island to sift through Billy Joel's junk. nyra.nyc/articles/onl...

I went gonzo at the New York Film Festival for issue 43/44 of @nyreviewofarch.bsky.social. nyra.nyc/articles/fol...

Grateful to be married to the only critic willing to risk his reputation by acknowledging that the film is sodden and humorless, and that a viewer is unable to suspend disbelief when watching a famous Hollywood actor do a heavy, fake accent.
