This Is the Holocaust Story I Said I Wouldn’t Write

Auschwitz was liberated 81 years ago today. Last year I published a story about the remaining survivors, fewer each year, and the importance of telling and retelling their stories. I hope you'll read it if you haven't. Here's a gift link. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/06/m...

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for them.

Operation Mincemeat was sold out tonight which is I guess what they call it when you do it to yourself. :(

You must join @tomjunod.bsky.social and me at @92ndstreety.bsky.social in March for a discussion about his magnificent new genre-defying memoir! Tickets here! www.92ny.org/event/tom-ju...

Now that is a disclosure that I'd read!

I welcome you to our fold! Please let me know when you want to go again!

Wow, their licensing people have really fallen down on the opportunities!! (Thank you for reading!)

It's so funny how the look on Michael's face when I tell him I'm going again feels more CONCERN than LOVE but I will take this!

JULIE ARE YOU???

I WILL HAVE NONE OF THIS CONDESCENSION!

Oli!!!

That is very funny. Thank you for the clarification. I wasn't offended because he seemed to really love the books!

Congratulations @johnaugust.bsky.social and Craig Mazin! Two incredibly successful screenwriters, dozens of their colleagues, and everything you need to know about working in this industry in one book. It's out today; buy it for a screenwriter you're rooting for: bookshop.org/p/books/scri...

Glenn Close, Ethan Hawke and Others Mourn Tom Stoppard

This, by my colleagues in Culture, is the exact thing I needed to read. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/30/t...

Rest in peace, Tom Stoppard. I saw ARCADIA at Lincoln Center in 1995 and turned around and transferred to NYU to get a degree in writing.

That's amazing, thank you for sharing that!

Wow, you guys are amazing and have given hope to a very despondent student whose debut will outsell both my novels collectively in the first week!

Oh excellent. Thank you, Erika!!!

Asking for a former student: Are there any MFA programs geared toward YA and/or fantasy? She's very talented but we're both a little lost as to next steps for her.
