As part of @everylibrary.bsky.social's roster of events for Banned Book Week (buy a banned book @bookshop.org), Jessica Stoya and I talked about Fanny Hill, criminal and civil book bans, and the US Supreme Court:

Happy publication day to Michelle Gurule's THANK YOU, JOHN!

Order your copy now at unnamedpress.com, your favorite indie, or anywhere books are sold.

I’ve been sitting on announcing this was coming until it had a cover, but I am so excited about every bit of this!

Anyway preorder this new edition of Fanny Hill with a forward by me and a conversation with @stoya.bsky.social. It'll titillate your twin orbs and perhaps induce a balsamic injection.

Reminder that Fanny Hill was banned, litigated, expurgated, rereleased, banned, litigated, edited, rereleased, banned in the UK, banned in the US, litigated, rereleased, and now faces potential bans again. All this for a book with no expletives and espouses a clearly capitalist bourgeoise agenda.

In probably the biggest new's of this youngish pod's life, we are thrilled to be able to say that we'll be proving the afterword converdsation for @unnamedpress.bsky.social 's forthcoming edition of Sarah Orne Jewett's MARSH ISLAND!

You can see why I am PRETTY FREAKING EXCITED ABOUT THIS

Just glad I get to share my love of Sinclair Lewis with the world (and hang with @nissaren.bsky.social in the process!)

Objects of beauty indeed! I’m particularly excited to be in conversation with @ofbooksandbikes.bsky.social and @ds228.bsky.social about A Marsh Island by Sarah Orne Jewett. Also excited for that Wharton. Not talked about nearly enough!

Are you starving for beauty? Well feast your eyes on the official 2026 Smith & Taylor Classics line-up!

I'm writing the forward to a new edition of John Cleland's Fanny Hill, arguably the most important, earliest, and strangest piece of British porn. It's published by @sandtclassics.bsky.social and features a conversation with @stoya.bsky.social. My mother would be so proud.
