LITTLE RED BARNS in Rolling Stone today!
The rise of authoritarianism we're witnessing right now is being directly shaped by corporate interests who profit from the repression.

Writing “Little Red Barns”—a book about fascism and factory farms—has been a long journey, and an isolated one. Coming out the other side to have authors I admire engaging with this story means the world to me.

You don’t need grad school to write your book. But if you can swing it (I went nights while working) it’s a rare way to go deep into the craft. And I still conspire with our crew from 15+ years ago—Oliver Uberti from grad school designed the cover of Little Red Barns!

All the feels seeing the printed galleys of the new book!
I went to the American Booksellers Association Winter Institute last night with City Lights, and gave a quick pitch. Felt so weird to see strangers picking up and reading the thing after all these years 😬
