renee gladman is funny cause shes kind of the best writer of all time and yet it’s difficult to summarize her work in any way other than the blandest bodies and spaces talk

Pair of charmingly grumpy owls out on skates for winter fun. Have even brought along a snack! By Adriaen van de Venne, who died (alas!) on this day 1662.

Between editing and reorganizing bookshelves, I have finished two books for #Novellavember! These two are very different, but I was delighted by both!

America's political elite has decided that climate change is no longer that important or worth talking about, but rest assured, it's still happening, it's extremely bad, and yes, it is going to affect you here in America.

"My body’s interior is a surprising mystery to me. I was always taught to look outward for myself, and rarely thought about my own body."

📚 38. THE TAIGA SYNDROME by Cristina Rivera Garza. I'm a sucker for any novel that starts out with a private investigation which then turns into (a) something supernatural, (b) something Surrealist, or (c) a psychological exploration of shattering identity. This book turns into (d) all of the above

What our own Lana Lin is reading and has read @shelf-awareness.com. Includes an excellent answer to a question about which book she bought for its cover. Have you ever bought a book for its cover, reader?

Really enjoyed this fine essay...Love the entwining of archives/appendix and writing/identity. "The ruse of the literary first-person singular cloaks our lived first-person plural."

Barbara Comyns’ WHO WAS CHANGED AND WHO WAS DEAD is a hearty warning about the dangers of ergot poisoning, gossip columnist fathers, and mean grandmas.

reading "the endless week" by laura vazquez. so far incredibly strange and uncanny, wondering if it might actually be a successful "internet novel"
