This is one you do not want to miss! And I’m not saying that just because we got to chat about it. Jewett called it her favorite among her works. Her subtle examinations of urban vs rural life, queerness, and the ecological landscape she knew well are stunning.

Fiction: ‘The Book of I’ by David Greig Plus Michael Jerome Plunkett’s “Zone Rouge” and Yasmina Reza’s “Serge.”

Speaking of war fiction, I recommend (guardedly, since it's so bleak) Michael Jerome Plunkett's 'Zone Rouge,' about the de-miners who are still removing the unexploded ordnance from Verdun a century after the battle. A Dantean allegory that crosses uncannily with the real www.wsj.com/arts-culture...

A few years ago, seemingly on a whim, @ofbooksandbikes.bsky.social and @ds228.bsky.social and I started a podcast. And it’s been a tremendous amount of fun. Today’s zippy conversation was a celebration. Of our friendship and shared loves of literature. ❤️

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.
