I was looking for a pumpkin bread recipe when I found this really convincing ad, and now I’m dropping everything to take 1 shot of olive oil tonight.

I don’t think our pastries are having the right kind of children.

Had a great time at the National Book Festival yesterday talking about humor in fiction with Maggie Su, who wrote the novel Blob, to a crowd who thankfully thought we were funny.

If you’re in DC, there are now signed copies of The Payback at @loyaltybooks.bsky.social, where sales have been down lately because of the military occupation.

Absolutely loving the genre of book called “my job is so soul-sucking that I’ve completely lost it”

My National Book festival panel got a nice write up in Publishers Weekly. We’re on at 11 am today, and I’m signing copies of The Payback afterwards. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Over on insta my publisher is giving away a copy of The Payback and a pair of Warby Parker sunglasses to go with it, if you’re into contests.

10/10. This is pitched as a ‘40’s California Black Great Gatsby retelling, but it’s richer & messier than that. There’s a lawsuit against racially restrictive covenants, a plot on whether Black Hollywood of that era held back everyday black people, and many people sleeping with the wrong people!

Honored that Mother Jones ran their profile of me in their October print issue.

The Payback made it into today’s NYT print book review as an article called “Rooting for the Antihero”

My kid’s going to be so happy when I say you picked up my book, because this is one of our house faves.

Thanks, Orange County Register. I’m slowly learning that people don’t really tend to set books in the Glendale Galleria? www.ocregister.com/2025/07/15/3...

The Payback is out today, and you can buy it wherever books are sold. It comes highly recommended by Publishers Weekly, Booklist, The Boston Globe, Vanity Fair, the LA Times, the NYT, and dozens of people who hang out on this very website.

If this kind of thing is your jam, the book comes out tomorrow, and if you live in LA, I’m launching it tomorrow night at Skylight Books with Rufi Thorpe.
