Hey, queer Baltimore: one of the free books in Pratt Library's summer giveaway this year is Torrey Peters' brand-new "Stag Dance". It's great. Not every branch has it but I saw it today at the Canton & Highlandtown branches and at Orleans St last week. Just show your library card to get a free copy.

Audible named Stag Dance as one of the BEST AUDIOBOOKS OF THE YEAR (so far), and while I feel mixed on these lists--I really want to highlight the four voice actors Lee Osorio, Briggon Snow, Eileen Noonan, and Pyrrha Nicole, who brought PERFORMANCES to what could have been just a reading.

I would like to send protesters in L.A. sandwiches and drinks and whatever support they need to stay out. Is there a way to do stuff like that?

waking early to read Grapes of Wrath--which, somehow, I always thought would be hokey--but the dustbowl descriptions are gorgeous and terrifying, the capitalist anger feels righteous, and when I look up from the page the sun comes up red behind smoke and dust from Canada.

I wrote a letter for Jami Attenberg's 1000 words of summer-- in which Jami invites guest authors (so far, Kristen Arnett and Karen Russell) to offer writing advice to people who commit to trying to write 1000 words a day for the summer to complete a book. Mine is on the pleasure of being insulted.

I'm not quite done reading Torrey Peters's Stag Dance, but I love it so much. Just a fabulous collection. All of y'all who love short stories should get a copy if you don't already have one.

Helllo. I am in Auckland. I have four events here! You can come to one, all, or none of these events, because, apparently, New Zealand is a free country. Weird concept, but okay, go off Kiwis.

So glad Bookforum still exists. I somehow missed this review—it focuses on a bunch of things that were important to me in ways that I hadn’t seen in other pieces.
