“It took me ten years to live and two years to write” is how Bob Dylan once described Tangled Up in Blue. The song not only opens the masterpiece that is his 15th studio album Blood on the Tracks, it’s key to unlocking the whole record. 🧵

Finally saw "Sinners." GotDAMN that was good. It's so beautiful to see a Black creative, in the fullness of his power, ignore all the "shoulds" and conventions and just COOK. That movie was so good it made me come home and write.

I suddenly wondered if the final speech @carriecoon.bsky.social gives at the end of White Lotus deliberately echoes Sonya’s last speech at the end of Uncle Vanya. This is why I’m an insomniac

When people ask me what I do lately, I always say “I’m in show business.” One of the great phrases ever. Exciting and completely vague

Small Rain has won the PEN/Faulkner Award. I don’t know what to say, except that I’m very grateful to the judges, & very moved to see my book included alongside such excellent writers.

Winner is one of my favorite movies of 2024! Charmingly dark and brutally relevant, it’s one of the finest “based on actual events” films I’ve seen in recent years! Now on Hulu!
