had the chance to gush about three 2024 books I loved for Write or Die Magazine: @marinkosut.bsky.social's ART MONSTER, @richardscottlarson.com's THE LONG HALLWAY, and Michael Wheaton's HOME MOVIES!

part scholarly text, part manifesto, part love letter—I’ve never read a book quite like @marinkosut.bsky.social's ART MONSTER (@columbiaup.bsky.social)

One of my favorite things about Art Monster is Kosut's frank references to the drafts, feedback, and revision that allowed the work to become what you're holding in your hands. I was reminded that art is not simply about arriving at a final product-it's about the journey, everything that led up to it. As a result, Art Monster feels alive-almost as if you're reading something that's still in the process of evolving. At one point Kosut astutely observes, "A book is an accumulation of the self over time," and those words have lingered with me ever since.
