Currently reading Shadow Ticket by Thomas Pynchon (Penguin Press, 2025)

This takes me back to the Pynchon reality I’d been missing! Bleeding Edge was my first read by him back in 2019, and this continues with the format of short, punchy chapters, but within a Milwaukee gumshoe story (so far).

Currently reading Lapvona by Otessa Moshfegh (Penguin Press, 2022. Jonathan Cape UK edition from the same year pictured.)

I’m utterly absorbed and can already tell this will be in my top five reads of the year. I bought this edition because I liked the forgoing of “A Novel” on the cover.

Just finished Divine Days! That was a wild ride. It was one of those books that “taught” me how to read it as it evaded narrative conventions for a more meta and conversational approach, interweaving stories about stories. The frenetic yet measured flow of the sentences is nonpareil!
