Never heard of this, but fascinating! I like the first comment about an "alternative universe."

I did know this but had forgotten it!

Congrats--loved it!

Kind of hoping DeLillo has a novel in the pipeline involving AI.

It feels like those ought to cancel each other out, though I know they don't. :(

I still think about that conversation about that story (if it's the one I'm thinking of) all the time!

Today’s sickening parade and the cuts to the NEA may not seem related, but they’re both about silencing dissent. If you’re feeling helpless, please join me on Subst*ck; I wrote about the literary organizations that lost their funding, ones we can support right now.

I mean, it stands for "All Writers Paparazzi," doesn't it?

The eponymous Space invaders--were they invaders from space or invaders of space?

Love the "doesn't seem to go by any name except..." line. Also, I didn't realize the time span involved in writing these stories. They feel so compressed that it's wild to think of them coming together over years.

Launched, you might even say!

We now live in a Jerry Springerocracy.

Gotcha. Only loosely related, but I always thought "Djed" would make a great structure for a story or novel.

Any sense of which one?

Kurt Baumeister, author of Twilight of the Gods, in conversation with Tim Horvath

Thursday, 5/29 at 7 PM, I'll be at Water Street Bookstore in Exeter, NH with THE @timhorvath.bsky.social! waterstreetbooks.com/event/2025-0...

Can't wait to talk about Twilight of the Gods with Kurt!

This band was not at all on my radar, but stumbled on their online listening party for the release and was pretty blown away!

The Ecstatic Ekphrastic: The Art of Using Art as Prompt We’ll use exercises and prompts to turn artworks into creative fiction and as flashes of light to get you out of a dark rut. Join us at WritingWorkshops.com.

Hey all, if you’re looking for something fun to do next Saturday, I’m teaching one of my favorite workshops, where we look at art and learn how to get better at using art as a prompt - and the myriad possibilities of ekphrasis beyond describing the painting writingworkshops.com/products/the...?

Congrats! Reading it now and it's every bit as brilliant as I'd hoped.

Doing an event with Michele here in New Hampshire--excited to read your piece, Maurice!

Haven't read that much, but my fave is Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter. It plays wonderfully with narrative and form, but it's also just funny.

At the very least you need to finish the sentence! (Which is a transparent trick to encourage you to finish it, because once you reboot it...)

I do like that edition. The deckle edges.

Updated schedule for TWILIGHT OF THE GODS tour. Note the inclusion of events in Santa Fe at Collected Works Bookstore & Coffeehouse with @jamesreich.bsky.social and @rankoutsider.bsky.social, The New School with Joseph Salvatore, and Water Street Bookstore with @timhorvath.bsky.social. Also, AWP.

We have one that's been lurking about just outside!

A Malbec of Mars

We're gonna take over those Martian canals, too.

Those Martian wines are going to be amazing. Reds, mainly.
