I sold my short story collection! Couldn’t be happier to be working with Allie Merola and the team at Viking, I feel like I found my dream home. Thanks to my wise and tenacious agent Bill Clegg for everything.

Earlier this year, Sarah Chihaya was diagnosed with MSA—a terminal neurodegenerative disease. Right now, she can no longer read or write—this will be her last piece. And it's a brilliant one about Emily Brontë and unknowability. thenation.com/article/cultur…

I like how this shows the *emptiness* of the type of book that mostly serves as an ad campaign for the brilliance of the MC. It’s not just that the posturing is annoying! It’s that there’s often nothing else there. You can be annoying if you back it up! xitter.cf/NewYorker/status/20672…
“The Vivisectors,” by Missouri Williams, critiques the hollowness of contemporary life. But it’s tricky to gauge the book’s level of self-awareness. newyorker.com/books/under-re…

"I needed to read it to stay upright during the day and to stay lying down at night." Sarah Chihaya on reading Anne Carson's "The Glass Essay" every day for a month after a breakup. yalereview.org/article/sarah…

If I can be earnest, there are few people writing today whose work I love as much as Hannah's. As someone who edited her, I found her style pleasingly, beautifully distinctive, full of flourishes and surprises—no one's doing it quite like her. I can't wait to read these stories
you can find out more about my book (and even preorder it!) here:

I spent two weeks at a Mars simulator for @Harpers 🤍It's a piece about brave utopian impulses, and the important (and sad) ways in which they can't quite get us to utopia.

“Why merely ‘touch grass’ when you can—as the narrator of Lerner’s first novel, Leaving the Atocha Station (2011), might put it—resist the “triumph of the actual” and uphold the possibility of sudden creative illumination?” —Hannah Gold (@togglecoat)

I love this piece by @togglecoat in @Harpers on the new Lerner novel, and on what we wish our phones could do for us

“The consensus is essentially that women are subhuman,” she says, “and I mean that quite literally: subrational, non-agentic, cattle.”
New in @NYMag: I spoke to women in, around, and leaving MAGA about the right’s unabashed embrace of misogyny.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.
ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.
