En el suplemento cultural “Laberinto” del diario “Milenio” publico un ensayo dedicado a los debuts novelísticos de dos extraordinarios autores editados por @twodollarradio.bsky.social: el estadounidense David Connerley Nahm y el británico Issa Quincy: bit.ly/47kuxSf.

“visit central Ohio indie bookstores” pamphlet. Shows you the location and is like a little passport for each where you can get it stamped

Found the cutest little indie bookstore/ brunch bar this weekend.

And so neat: they give you a passport if you want to visit them all.

CALLS MAY BE RECORDED | Kirkus Reviews An employee at a travel-agency call center scrapes together moments of hilarity and strange intimacy into a life he can stand, somewhat.

“Volckmer’s prose is electric, and as she skillfully unearths moments of tenderness, even ecstasy, amid the sweat and stench of abjection, she ensures this brief book lingers past its pages. A raucous, gutting workplace novel.” —Kirkus Reviews
