For @nytimesbooks, I wrote about @AdaCalhoun and her new book, Also a Poet, which started as a biography of Frank O’Hara— but became something else. nytimes.com/2022/06/09/books…

We’re so very sorry to hear of the passing of the brilliant writer Steve Silberman. In 2018, we published his incredible piece about jazz pianist Bill Evans. You can read “Broken Time” here: thebeliever.net/broken-time/

"Martin’s memoir is the first one I’ve read that centers this mission, these feelings and thoughts, this struggle with the great climate catastrophe of our time. I’m certain that it won’t be the last." @caseyschwartz on @manjulamartin's memoir theatlantic.com/books/archiv…

I wrote about Matthew Pratt Guterl and his new book Skinfolk, out today from @LiverightPub
Matthew Guterl’s parents wanted a family that embodied an integrated future, and adopted children from many backgrounds. The “experiment” — his father’s word — had painfully mixed results. In his memoir, “Skinfolk,” Guterl takes on his upbringing. nyti.ms/3U1icdr

"The novel is an emotional artifact, a remnant of a world sick with foreboding, incredulity, creeping fear, and—this may feel most familiar to us today—the impossibility of gauging whether a society is really at the breaking point." theatlantic.com/books/archiv…

And shoutout to them waiting so long that it gave tons of people time to read up on the origin of the company, and how the founder of the company was a member of the Nazi Party.
