I read Caren Beilin’s Sea, Poison on recommendation of Josh from @portersqbooks.bsky.social and it was so good I immediately read Revenge of the Scapegoat. Now @davidnaimon.bsky.social drops the latest conversation with Beilin, which means I get to listen to her talk about both books back to back.

What better way to honor Omar and this book than to divest from your bank sponsors that invest in and profit from the destruction of Palestine? And to celebrate him by making a statement as such.

Wow, this book is incredible. It Lasts Forever and Then It's Over by @annedemarcken.com. I've never read anything like it. Beckett?! Now listening to @davidnaimon.bsky.social's conversation with Anne. I don't want it to end.
tinhouse.com/podcast/anne...
Photo of me holding up my copy of Anne de Marcken's book, It Lasts Forever and Then It's Over. The cover is a light lime green/yellow colour with a black crow filling the page, and the book title and author's name fill the body of the crow. Behind is a stone wall covered in ivy. Published by NDP in the US and Fitzcarraldo Editions in the UK. A blurb from Alexandra Kleeman runs along the bird's wing, "A freakish classic."
