Had no idea about this TV adaptation of one of my favorite novels of the decade, Louise Kennedy’s TRESPASSES. Can’t wait to watch it. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...
Trespasses: Gillian Anderson steals every scene in this miraculous TV heartbreaker
Lola Petticrew and Tom Cullen’s chemistry in this tale of secret passion during the Troubles will floor you. But it is Anderson as a sour, ragey alcoholic who truly mesmerises

The NYRB reissue of Jan Kerouac’s BABY DRIVER is out today. Been wanting to read this for a long time. Just grabbed my copy at Square Books.

The new one from my favorite in the game, hero and pal Willy Vlautin, showed up a few days ago. Made my day, month, year.

McNally Editions recently reissued Todd Grimson’s 1996 Gothic slacker vampire noir STAINLESS. Goddamn, it’s so great. Highly recommend picking it up. Blurbs from James Ellroy & Katherine Dunn (who said it’s like if Raymond Chandler or Flannery O’Connor wrote a vampire novel).

My best score ever off the library quarter sale rack. A first edition of one of my top ten favorite books, THE STORIES OF BREECE D’J PANCAKE! Still reeling from this find, which was buried—for some reason—in the woebegone nonfiction section.

Minding an elderly parent and staying over in my childhood room like somebody out of a @wmboyle4.bsky.social novel yesterday, so figured it was appropriate to finally pull his latest, ‘Saint of The Narrows Street’ off the shelf.

New Life of the Record episode on one of my favorite albums of the century so far, Sharon Van Etten’s TRAMP. Can’t wait to listen.
In celebration of Sharon Van Etten's third album, TRAMP, we spoke to Sharon Van Etten and producer Aaron Dessner about how it was made. Living between sublets, recording in Aaron's garage, the Brooklyn music community and a turning point moment.

Christ this is beautiful
No actress ever lost her s**t quite so well as Barbara Stanwyck. Here, in Shopworn (1932), she refuses to take a pay-off for not marrying rich boy Regis Toomey, even though the consequence will be six months in the "State Home for the Regeneration of Women."

In honor of ELECTRIC NEBRASKA entering the world, I decided to go long on "lost" albums and why they're so appealing and romantic to me, focusing on 25 "lost" albums in particular (in list form).

Out now! I have a new story in this anthology called “Arlene.” Think a mix of VERTIGO, PSYCHO, and REAR WINDOW in late ’80s southern Brooklyn. I hope you’ll pick it up! titanbooks.com/72625-birds-...
