was asked for "a list of 5-10 or so recent collections you want to vouch for" and so threw this together, and am counting it as my "writing" for the day

Thanks, Hope! Today is the 2-year birthday of this amazing book by @parkeryoung.bsky.social, btw. 💫💛💛💫
currently reading : cheap therapist says you’re insane, stories by parker young.

I picked this up on a sort of whim at Powells because I like short stories, I like how the size frames the very short , odd stories, and because of the title. it is not disappointing!

imagine spotify trying to invent an AI Dan Bejar from scratch... ok it's like indie yacht rock... and he sings like a wasted shakespearean actor trapped in a musical... and his lyrics don't really make sense... and it's all so beautiful that people weep... have it on my desk by 5

Friend at a bar asked what I'm reading. A Fan's Notes by Exley, I told her. She punched me harder than I've probably ever been punched in the shoulder. She said she used to live in Watertown. She said everyone there hates Exley. Incredible book.
