The Foundation is supported by an exceptionally large private endowment and should not be putting people out of work.

Worst thing to happen to book crit was getting mercilessly synced to pub dates. writer gets 97% of the coverage they're ever getting by the end of week 2, & if the book is widely reviewed (positive or not) in prestige places some of your would-be audience burns out on takes & skips the book itself.

I'm also grateful for editor Alex Tan's conversation with Egyptian writer and multidisciplinary artist Mohamed Abdelkarim, discussing myth, migration, poetry, and "Fiction's Futurability" in Abdelkarim's writing, film, and more.

This may have bene written by AI. In any case, I don’t think the author knows what “humanistic” or “veracity” mean.
