Kevin Maloney

Ghost by Kevin Maloney originally published by Hobart, October 2014 re-animated by HAD, October 2021 Two days before Halloween I caught my wife having sex with my best friend Dave in a position we’d never trie...

They settled on 2,500 words b/c we read @kevinrmaloney.bsky.social's story "Ghost" and they decided that was a length they liked--"kinda long, but without feeling long," so someone copy/pasted the text into Word to get an exact count, then rounded up. Editing!

UPDATE: my wife is going to an art event where they make puppets and perform a puppet skit for families. Will let you know if a war breaks out or if anything ends up ravaged. #Portland #ThePortlandWars2025

Drinking a margarita at a food cart pod, surrounded by parents and young children in war ravaged Portland. Highly recommend the lamb shawarma. Haven’t found the war or anything ravaged yet, but I’ll keep looking.

Don’t know either of these writers. Thanks for the recs!

Is contemporary literary criticism a thing? If so, who is doing it well? As in… is there a book I can buy that was written in the last ten years that is an important work of literary criticism? Not trying to make a point… genuinely curious and looking for suggestions.

One of my fav things about Pool Party is how it pairs the 🔥 writing happening in indie lit w/ interviews & reviews about incredible work happening in other disciplines. Today, we're publishing @femmeintheory.bsky.social's interview w/ performance artist Autumn Knight, where Autumn turns...
