Galleys dropped! My weird novel abt art, the angels of history, Kabbalah, Yiddish poets, a dybbuk, & the dangers of trauma narratives. I pitched it (not well) as a Jewish Magic Mountain, but shorter. It's a strange book & I can't wait to share it with you. Feb 10th from Dzanc.

The #pulitzerprize writer you've never heard of wrote funny, smart stories in which women fight back against unsafe & unsanitary business practices. Sadly, her work is still relevant thanks to RFK et al, she is. Glad to have this essay in @literaryhub.bsky.social today: lithub.com/the-politics...

Such a pleasure and honor to be included in this, with all these amazing writers. It's been really nice hearing from so many readers about my strange story...
