He's a better man than me. @theatlantic.com you bunch of hacks

A paperback copy of "Writing Backwards: Historical Fiction and the Reshaping of the American Canon" on a wooden desktop.
Just learned that WRITING BACKWARDS has won Narrative's 2026 Perkins Prize, "awarded to the book making the most significant contribution to the study of narrative in a given year." A true honor, especially given the prize's past recipients!

Maybe I'm just being terribly naive here, but I wonder if this is gonna have any repercussions for Clarence Thomas' allegiance to MAGA... (excerpt from Thomas' memoir)

I wrote about Peter Thiel’s lectures on the Antichrist and how the fact that there’s a strong chance Thiel thinks Greta Thunberg is the literal Antichrist isn’t even the weirdest thing about them — at the @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/technology/n...

Next up he's gonna complain about wasting $ 50 on Pynchon, only then to find out that hefty hardcover *gasp* wasn't a vindication of James Nolan Mason and Thomas Dixon Jr

May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.
