For my Bluesky friends: if you’re in the DC metro area, I hope you'll be able to attend an evening with the Washington Review of Books on Wed. March 12 to hear from some incredible writers — as well as the opening of my novel, COME BACK NEVER.

Hey John, @themountaingoats.bsky.social, does the “Let’s disappear.” closer from All Frosting have any connection to Schrader’s Light Sleeper?

I’m thrilled to see Russell Persson’s THE WAY OF FLORIDA is back in print! If you trust my opinion at all, this will be among the finest books you’ll ever read. Do yourself a favor and buy it as soon as possible: bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

It’s been a terrible start to 2025, but — thanks to Michael Lentz, @maxlawton.bsky.social, Matthias Friedrich, and the folks at @deepvellum.bsky.social — it seems the beginning of a fantastic rest of year (in reading, at the very least).

Jameson’s introduction to AdW mentioned this as a complement to Weiss. Figure I’d check it out.
