Lana Lin’s The Autobiography of H. Lan Thao Lam is a witty, tender, and quietly radical book about queer partnership, migration, and being rendered invisible, whilst insisting on being seen anyway.

And shout out to @dorothyproject.bsky.social--they are doing some incredible small-but-perfectly-formed books. I also read Renee Gladman's fabulous My Lesbian Novel this year. bsky.app/profile/lisa...
Renee Gladman’s MY LESBIAN NOVEL is meta-delicious. “It never happens that the book [readers are] reading is precisely the one you wrote. Add to that the chaos of writing a book within a book within a third book that’s practically invisible.” On top of all that: a kinda sappy lesbian romance.

Lana Lin as H. Lan Thao Lam, channeling Gertrude Stein & Alice B. Toklas: “How to re-imagine one’s body, & one’s life as a body, as bodies, when answers are not forthcoming? Stein offers a strategy that Lana & I continue to abide by, one of re-orienting oneself to the practice of seeking questions.”

Lana Lin's The Autobiography of H. Lan Thao Lam is so clever & fun & moving. Lin & her publisher, Dorothy, A Publishing Project, call it an autobiomythography, suggesting a lineage of both Audre Lorde & Gertrude Stein.

12. The Taiga Syndrome by Cristina Rivera Garza
Another title I picked up from a fav bookstore, Woodenshoe. I don't even know how to describe this one other than it's a moment.
I felt like I couldn't breath yet needed more and need to check out more from the publisher, @dorothyproject.bsky.social

It’s not “losing money” any more than air traffic controllers or public highways or street lights or fire departments are “losing money.” It is a government service. It’s not SUPPOSED to make money. It’s supposed to reliably deliver to anywhere in the US, even the unprofitable places.
The USPS faces a tight squeeze. With fewer people using the mail, it’s lost more and more money: $9 billion in the 12 months ending in September alone.

“Someone at the high school asked me what my favourite emotion was and I said, “Awkward.” I’m not sure awkward is an emotion but it is where I live and it is what I want to write. Discomfort. Unsettled. Uncanny. I’m interested in a narrative arc that moves in these energies.”
