When the last several Harry Potter books were released, we had midnight book launches attended by millions. Children, in some cases very young, finished these 700 & 800 page books in a single day. And now people are telling me I made it up, that this couldn’t ever have happened.

A statistic that sounds fake but isn't: Not one single white American man born after 1984 has published a work of literary fiction in The New Yorker.
It's not because they stopped writing. It's because The New Yorker has refused to publish them. The publishing industry has blacked out a generation of male writers & then they wonder why boys don't read.
About 70% of publishing professionals are women.
Because agents and editors tend to select books they personally relate to, an increasing number of male authors are being sidelined in the publishing industry, resulting in an overwhelming number of female protagonists on our shelves—and a dearth of male ones.
No wonder young men are no longer reading.

Tem um conto meu também na melhor coletânea de horror brasileiro – que, pasmem, esgotou menos de um mês após a publicação – mas só compartilhei pra dizer que o conto do @r_d_carvalho é bom demais mesmo.
(Segunda tiragem em breve. Que tem a primeira já faz parte da história)
Isso aqui trouxe alguns novos seguidores que vão me des-seguir depois por causa de outras postagens, então, antes que saiam, gostaria de dizer que tem um conto meu na melhor coletânea de horror brasileiro da história, Todos os demônios estão aqui: instagram.com/p/DeAbOylCSaM/…

Pessoal no tuitil é tiop "ele entendeu a semiótica!", "q semiótica dessa foto meu Deus!", e é sempre só uma composição não mais espertilsa q uma tia véia segurando a Torre de Pisa, um cone de sorvete contra uma nuvem, um polícia erguendo o braço meio siegheilicamente.

I had a little chuckle at the opening paragraph of Jacob Rees-Mogg's latest piece.

There’s this extraordinary Bret Easton Ellis podcast ep from 2021 where he talks about how he’s completely alone wherever he goes but it doesn’t matter bc he can always tinker on the novel in his head. How he can always go back to the novel. Highly recommend listening to it.

On Johnny Cash and his favourite books.
'His home library was expansive, and he proudly claimed to have read every book in it - some more than once ... One of the most touching moments came when Cash was asked about 'The Grapes of Wrath.' His reply: 'Know that book? I was that book.''

"...um livro que amamos excede em muito o valor que pagamos por ele. Paguei um pouco mais de cinquenta reais pela minha cópia de “A Morte de Ivan Ilitch”, de Tolstói, mas certamente ainda estou devendo muito para aquele barbudo imbecil e magnífico."

Supermercado em Cuzinhocity - PR. Eu cantarolava "I guess you wonder where I've beeeennnn..." enquanto pegava um sassami no freezer. Um vovô japonês que estava no meu lado respondeu: "nãnãnãnãnã love nãnã... musca muito boa.. ouvir muito na rádio! tem no pen drive até hoje!".

“It’s a remake of The Great Gatsby, Liz, except this time they solve crimes. I play Nicole ‘Nicky’ Carraway, a cop with dreams of becoming a writer”
