Just listened to @davidnaimon.bsky.social ‘s BTC with Omar El Akkad. Wanted to (but then couldn’t!) wait until I’d finished reading his new book. A little shy and deeply moved to be mentioned along with @biidaasamose.bsky.social & Adania Shibli. tinhouse.com/podcast/omar...

In late October 2023, weeks into Israel’s bombing of northern Gaza, the novelist Omar El Akkad retweeted a video taken by a Gazan man. This video showed a lifeless moonscape with endless empty streets...

Thanks to translator Clemens J. Setz and @suhrkamp.de for the German edition of this little weirdo. Sorry I won’t be its traveling companion in Germany as planned. Hoping for a postcard or two. 📮🐦‍⬛✨

Love @patmimo.bsky.social’s description of my strange little novel’s narrative shape as “en un paréntesis en el tiempo.” Those who know me best will especially appreciate the shout out to parentheses. (🖤)

Honestly so excited to get Issue #1 of ELASTIC. Can’t believe what they’ve pulled off. Lucky me to meet up in these pages with Gerardo Sámano Córdova, Aimee Bender, K-Ming Chang, Judy Chicago, Sawako Kabuki & so many more.

…and I just got such a nice message from Remon about talking with a customer about buying both the English (for her) and Dutch (for her boyfriend) editions of my book. Booksellers are truly the best.
Remon den Ouden las @annedemarcken.com's Het duurt eeuwig en dan is het voorbij (vert. Karina van Santen & Martine Vosmaer) en was heel enthousiast. Hij interviewde haar per mail. Lees over verlies, de zombie-apocalyps (vergeet je zakmes niet), de boeken die ze leest & meer: www.athenaeum.nl/nie...
