i can say with some degree of confidence that no novel published next year will feature as many references to the 2004 cult-classic, Garden State, as the one @jme1226 and I wrote together
Really nice review of @jme1226's and my book in Kirkus: "A bitingly funny and riotous novel of identity and family that unfolds at a dizzying pace." Out Nov. 10th from @AkashicBooks ! kirkusreviews.com/book-revie…
My and my twin's novel has the alphabetical good fortune of being placed very highly on the literary fiction list....Our Greatest Work coming in November from @AkashicBooks !
This season brings bold debuts, exciting follow-ups to bestselling favorites, and literary darlings stepping into genre fiction. Expect plenty of spookiness and spice, along with festive reads perfect for Halloween and Christmas.
From sweeping romantasies and captivating mysteries to chilling horror tales and rich historical fiction, there’s something for every reader this fall.

Tired: “Sprezzatura.”

"I can't even picture the shape of a mystery."
V into @james_chrisman2's new story, which makes me hate myself (but in a fun, flirty way).
“She’s Catholic?”
“Catholics are an urban legend. She’s convinced herself that there’s a sex problem, which is clearly a men problem.”
