RIP Bill Fay. TIME OF THE LAST PERSECUTION is an all-timer, and I’m thankful for his later work, too. “Pictures of Adolf Again” is one of my ten favorite songs ever. m.youtube.com/watch?v=_uZw...

Great writer. Brooklyn is such a fully realised presence in his books #booksky #mystery #crime @wmboyle4.bsky.social

I’m so annoyed that I missed this reading right by my house that I’m going to march over there now and buy a copy. Since I already ordered one, hit me up if you’re broke and want a copy of the new @wmboyle4.bsky.social book. (tbc you’ll get the one I ordered. I’m reading the one I’m about to buy)

Kurt Cobain, journal entry. #BOTD Will never get over it. I’m of that age. Just glad we got him for a short while.

William Boyle has a pointillist’s eye for detail, and in SAINT OF THE NARROWS STREET, you can smell the cigarette smoke and desperation wafting from the dive bar and the freezer lasagna reheated when the priest drops by uninvited. @wmboyle4.bsky.social, @sohopress.bsky.social

Good crowd last night for @wmboyle4.bsky.social and SAINT OF THE NARROWS STREET. Thanks to all who came out! Signed copies available now: www.mysteriousbookshop.com/products/wil...

Hudson Valley pals: I’ll be at Rough Draft Bar & Books in Kingston talking SAINT OF THE NARROWS STREET with my old pal Josh Gran tonight (Wednesday, 2/19) at 6 pm. Hope to see you there!

Been keeping a low profile lately, but I made an exception for my pal @wmboyle4.bsky.social, who stopped by @mysteriousbookshop.com to discuss his new novel, Saint of the Narrows Street, with Megan Abbott

NYC, join us tonight!

I’ll be @mysteriousbookshop.com tonight at 6 pm talking to pal & hero @meganabbott.bsky.social about SAINT OF THE NARROWS STREET. Hope to see you there!

Tomorrow night (2/18), join us to welcome William Boyle, here with SAINT OF THE NARROWS STREET, in convo with Megan Abbott!

Great score yesterday. I love Algren and have read most of his books but somehow hadn’t encountered SOMEBODY IN BOOTS, his first, which John Sayles recently listed as one of his all-time favorites.

Tonight at 7:30! Hope to see you there!

Tomorrow at @greenlightbklyn.bsky.social I'll be talking all things Brooklyn and literary with the esteemed @wmboyle4.bsky.social! www.greenlightbookstore.com/event/willia...

Fascinating profile of a park ranger in San Francisco who works with unhoused residents and has adopted the novel tactic of treating them like human beings, building relationships, and helping them access resources on their own timeline.

I’m home in Brooklyn. Tomorrow night, Monday, 2/17, I’ll be in conversation with the great @tobiascarroll.bsky.social about SAINT OF THE NARROWS STREET at Greenlight Bookstore at 7:30 pm. The website page for complete information: www.greenlightbookstore.com/event/willia...

Man… William Boyle just killing it with this novel. Like the best fiction, turns the specifics of the local into the big heart punches of the bigger world. Picked it up from my fave local indie bookstore, The Book Shop in East Gnashville @wmboyle4.bsky.social

Thanks so much to Drew Buxton for asking some great questions over at Write or Die. We talked SAINT OF THE NARROWS STREET, Hubert Selby Jr, David Lynch, hair metal, and more. writeordiemag.com/author-inter...

Anthony Jeselnik’s review of SAINT OF THE NARROWS STREET on Instagram! Can’t find a better way to share it other than a screenshot of his story. He’s a huge reader and loves crime fiction and I’m a fan of his comedy, so this is pretty damn cool.

Oxford pals: I’ll be at the library talking SAINT OF THE NARROWS STREET today! Hope to see you there!
