Eric Anderson is like that friend you'd had in college who absolutely loved books & loved to discuss them...of my adult friends it was Edmund White who was like this: Edmund would say, excitement in his voice, "I'm reading this fascinating book by...." & off we would go.
So happy to see book lover Eric Karl Anderson talk to the great @JoyceCarolOates about her new novel, FOX. Thanks for doing this Joyce and Eric.

thank you, Eric! writers so very much appreciate sympathetic, perceptive & highly articulate readers. a novel can be a microcosm of life--the community vulnerable to incursions from the outside--but prepared to defend itself, "heal"--however ironically.

The brilliant @lonesomereader calls the #2025InternationalBooker-longlisted The Book of Disappearance by @IbtisamAzem (tr. @sinanantoon) a Modern Classic – and we couldn't agree more

Eric Anderson remains a trans-Atlantic treasure speaking warmly of books & book-culture at a time when a large portion of the US denigrates books, science, literacy, "elitism"; & celebrates a president who has probably never read a book including even his own (ghostwritten).

This has upset me more than the racist thugs. Four, smirking white faces patronising a brown woman as she talks about riots targeting people like HER.
Being on the defensive, invalidating and mocking. It's so triggering to Black and brown people. We've all been @zarahsultana.
