▶️ NOW PLAYING: @jesswalter.bsky.social's new novel, SO FAR GONE (@harperbooks.bsky.social), is very much of its time, and it speaks to the American lunacies and darknesses that have come into full flower over the past decade.

A great talk w a great writer. Official June book club pick.

Listen.

Treated myself to a Father's Day gift, Jess Walter's new book, SO FAR GONE.

The man's novels, short stories, and nonfiction never let me down. I'm always thrilled when he drops a new book. I've been looking forward to this one for a while.

"SO FAR GONE," the new novel by @jesswalter.bsky.social, comes out in a few days. He showed me some places around Spokane that inspired it. My latest:

Jess Walter thought he needed to move away to make it as a writer. He found the inspiration for “So Far Gone” in his hometown.
