Happy anniversary of the Sudden Departure to all who celebrate. For an @atpost45.bsky.social cluster edited by @ericafretwell.bsky.social and @annakrauthamer.bsky.social, I wrote about the trauma of living to tell (and retell) the tale.

My new book, Negative Life: The Cinema of Extinction, coauthored with @stevenswarbrick.bsky.social, is out today. Author copies haven't crossed the US-Canada border yet, but, you know, coming out is a process.
