“Oh! It’s Bookshop Day!” I remarked to my girlfriend this morning.
“What does that even mean?” she said. “EVERY day is bookshop day for you.” It’s a fair point. I bought only one book today. I hope others fared better than I did.

@backlisted.bsky.social Wonderful evening in NYC with John Mitchinson back in the saddle at the 92nd Street Y, great discussion about William Maxwell with Jennifer Egan, Deborah Treisman and Alec Wilkinson — and warmup act Nicky Birch. Bravo!

Just finished The Book of I by David Greig, set in Scotland in 835, thanks to
@ssacks.bsky.social review. One of the best novels read this year — so evocative, smart, and funny, despite the slaughter by raiding Vikings. Proof again short books are so often better. @backlisted.bsky.social
