Novelist and bookseller.
Honestly rude because my new book is this, but 300 pages.
anything that at any point you loved but then became too cool for, know that someday you will turn back to that thing and say "oh. no. you were fine, you were more than fine. it is I who was cringe"

Mos Def in a movie’s opening credits? You know you’re about to see something good. No skips.

If you’re looking for something joyous in this ghoulish hellscape, may I recommend @questlove.bsky.social’s incredible doc about the music on SNL. I kept clapping, in my living room. Inspiring!

President Trump's DOE has made themselves clear: they will support book banners in their efforts to strip our institutions of learning of the books that define them.

So let us be perfectly clear: we're going to do whatever we can to try and stop them.

Not to be basic but I love everything about The Bear, including, but not limited to: Richie’s White Squall poster, Carmy’s nose to chin ratio, the soundtrack, the cameos (fucking Xmas!!!! And Forks!!!!), every second of the sublime Ayo Edebiri, every second of Matty, the invisible cat, everything!

Books Are Magic, yes, but libraries are even better. No cuts! Libraries are vital resources for all. If ACAB, then ALAN—all librarians are necessary.

Ann Patchett’s new book is a bucolic pandemic sex mystery, you heard it here first. (I loved every page.)

RIP to Nicholas Gray, the founder of Gray’s Papaya, the best restaurant in New York City. Just happened to be wearing this today. Rest in peace and sauerkraut.
