The greatest riffer working today.

Mount Chicago is also great.

This was fantastic! Brilliant interview with a brilliant writer.

Or send the book to a printer. It’s funny how up until the 90s or so, the big writers were coming out with books every two years. But now the publishing has turned into an event , one more important than the actual book.

Well, you should read Hopscotch first, if you haven’t read that yet.

Chon not Chin, stupid autocorrect.

That’s Chin’s bread and butter, it seems. If someone were to tell me they were writing Hashtag Good Guy With a Gun, I’d say they were crazy and it was doomed to fail, but that book’s execution is perfect.

Love a good ramble.

Christine Sneed has an amazing story called “Older Sister.” You can probably find it online.

The seeming or overt premise gives way to a story that is about something else entirely.

Can you elaborate on this? I’ve been thinking a lot about this since you posted.

🤣

None of those are on my summer list. Finally going to read The Tunnel. And a bunch of Muriel Sparks lined up when I need a break.
