Today I'm emotional and stunned: I never dreamt my book would be reviewed in @washingtonpost, but it happened, and here it is.
So thankful for the breathtaking ways that @courtneytenz writes into the entanglements of belief and finds the nuances.

The Great Antonio was mourned by more than 3,000 people, but “the most repeated narrative of Antonio Barichievich’s life” leaves much unsaid. Here, @danielallencox pieces together forgotten archives to uncover the man behind the myth: thewalrus.ca/the-great-anton…

“I admire people who don’t need or seek society’s approval,” says photographer Sylvain Laquerre. “I knew I was dealing with history when I was by [Antonio’s] side, even if I didn’t know the significance our friendship would have after he was gone.” thewalrus.ca/the-great-anton…

Antonio Barichievich was one of Montreal’s most recognizable faces, but behind his colourful persona was a man shaped by trauma and reinvention. Writer @danielallencox traces the blurred line between fact and fiction in the life of the Great Antonio: thewalrus.ca/the-great-anton…

So touching to receive this letter! Another university press closing.
One of my first academic critical articles! Seems like a lifetime ago.

Once a month I watch a show or read a novel where characters in the northeastern United States "go to Montreal" for a weekend that changes their lives irrevocably. "We're going to Montreal" as shorthand for transformation. Where exactly do you go? We living here WANT TO KNOW.

My Years-Long Fight to Say “They”
Over and over again, I would use the pronoun in my writing. Over and over again, editors would try to remove it.

If you’re using AI to write, why are you even a writer? Like why bother? The pleasure, the pain, the mystery, the magic, the torture and the exhilaration and euphoria on the other side of the torture—it’s all in the process and cannot exist independent of it.

true. writing is akin to doodling & doodling is a kind of dreaming. when "doodling" we discover what the pen creates, not what we've determined to compose; I have the feeling that old-fashioned doodling no longer exists in the age of empowered devices.
(true for me, who'd covered entire pages in elaborate doodles as a student.)

Eine Literaturnobelpreisträgerin nutzt KI, eine Autorin des Buches "The Future of Truth" verwendet dutzende halluzinierte Zitate, halbe Timeline hier ist voll mit Slop. Is this how it ends?

The Granta award judge that awarded obviously AI-generated drivel a prestigious prize and Olga Tokarczuk, who admitted to writing her next novel with AI, both having investments in AI companies continues to hit home that AI is just an ugly, corrosive, grubby scam and nothing more

why would anyone knowingly read a book produced by a machine or watch a movie mechanically-made when there are so any excellent books & movies already in existence? most serious works of art are individual & a bit quirky; we care for them because they are imperfect in unpredictable ways. an AI Bob Dylan song would be an amalgam of the Dylan songs already in existence which are there to be experienced without AI.
