- Borges. That’s the answer. There are many, many great short story writers of all time. The greats. Lots to talk about there. But you asked me the best. Jorge Francisco Isidoro Luis Borges Acevedo.
- You don’t need an agent. You need a point of view, a great stack of books, and an obsessive approach to protecting (and making the most use of) your solitude.
- Replying to @SeanMcCarthyCom“There was hardly any graffiti and the police state made me feel safe.” You sound like my dead ass grandmother.
- My first novel came out today. I am doing a book launch right now in my truck in the parking lot of the Red Lobster on Buck Jones Road. I’m not eating here or getting out of my truck. Just doing my book launch. Reading to follow, order here:
- One of my favorite indie writer tropes is the “I write books for people who don’t even really fuck with books,” and it’s like, yeah man, we can tell.
- Cormac McCarthy cover talk just gives me another excuse to post this cover that I love and is amazing and will defend to death
- A package from one of the best presses in the land. So excited for these - diving into Attila first.
- This is going to be such a fucking hard year, I can already feel it. In bed crying at Noon, between Teams meetings. Just heartbroken in a way that I can’t even put to words. I honestly thought I had one of those great loves. And I guess I did. I cannot imagine a happiness.
- The Pale King is really good, I’m sorry to report.
- My debut novel, Characters, is available for pre-order - only fromIf you ease your foot off the gas you’ll shatter. The good problem you’re looking to have, @mainely’s speaking in code, an antidote to all known variants, bottomless interpersonal harmony an oral manifesto written on the wind. Characters, conduits, sigh. expatpress.com/product/charac…
- If you see all this literary "drama/bs" & feel lost or lonely: every Friday night there is a reading series where anyone & everyone is invited to come & read their work & chat with & meet other writers/artists. @miserytourism tweets out the zoom link at 8EST & you should come.
