I reviewed this wonderful loss and love memoir for the @nytimesbooks It has the same title as my first published short story, too. Losing and finding are very preoccupying. nytimes.com/2022/01/11/books…

Is There a Silver Lining to Loss? This Memoir Shows Its Shimmer. (Published 2022)

In “Lost & Found,” Kathryn Schulz explores the confluence of death, love and hope.

Dark chocolate from Ikea tases like Ikea smells. A very particular sorrow.

I spent last night reading about Gary Shteyngart’s mangled penis in @NewYorker (with interest!) and can’t help but observe that it’s hard to imagine a piece about (the many, many mangled) vaginas in those pages.
In case you missed it, here’s last night’s reading for @zyzzyvamag’s new issue! Thank you again @SFPublicLibrary for hosting us, @ovillalon for emceeing, and to my fellow contributors and readers @bethanyaball, @robinromm and @MarkLabowskie. I enjoyed hearing all your work!

Excited to be reading Wednesday for the wonderful ZYZZYVA, and sort of in San Francisco. Wish it was really in San Francisco, but someday.... I've got a story in this one about movie stars, egg donation, lineage and love.

What are some good memoirs or books of personal essays that look at the daily in a form that resembles a journal? Or memoirs that make something riveting out of the mundane? I feel like graphic memoirs like this were big in the early 2000s but what were they?
I am desperate for time alone--to the point of tears--and then when I get it, I sit and wonder what my kids are doing.

Report from the Covid Mommy Underground: It seems to be even more en vogue now to say, "Oh, I just don't read books anymore." Depressing AF.
Which is more lethal, Covid or endless insomnia bc Covid/coup/everything?
There's a pandemic and a coup, but the thing that seems to be giving me intense insomnia that no drug can battle is my daughter going to kindergarten next year.

I wrote about my baby daughter's first hard months in Parents Magazine. And yes, she is okay. parents.com/baby/injuries/em…

A Christmas tree with glitter-covered N-95 mask ornaments and a big corona on the top. Who is with me?
I guess Grassley forgot his Listerine.
Georgia, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada, I have never felt this way about a state before. You are all I can think about. I can't sleep. I need you.
