My favorite fictions of 2024!

Year in Reading: Zachary Issenberg Grief came at us with a hammer this year. I moved across the country for work and every week there’s another bit of news from the end of the world. Through several bludgeons of change and loss, I walk...

Good morning everyone! I took part in The Millions' Year In Reading, after being such a fan for so long. I wrote about the experience of reading through change and grief, the books that delighted me.

I hope you may find a future favorite read among these!

Three Days Before The Shooting... by Ralph Ellison!

Sure, I'll do this too! 1 like = 1 book that I like

Really fun! Every chapter is 5-11 pages and from a different narrator; the pacing matched the pitch of action. I'm surprised by how often James trusts the reader to as he does the Quentin Compson thing often.

Last book I read: A Brief History of Seven Killings by Marlon James!
Current Read: Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward!
Next anticipated: maybe a Pynchon reread or The Night of Lead by Jahn?
Newest acquisitions: See pic related!

Hi everyone! If you're ever on the lookout for writing about Florida that's as funny as it's terrifying, check out my fiction! I write in a few genres and styles, but if you like the work of writers Paul Beatty, Joy Williams, or Toni Morrison, try these?

Hey everyone! I wanted to post my latest essay here; I got to write about one of my favorite authors, José Donoso.

I wrote about Donoso's ethics as an artist, how it contributed to his style, and how we might use this as a banner cry for a sea change in language art.

Hey everyone! I've got a fun question:
