Salman Rushdie poignardé. Et chacun de nous avec lui. De tout cœur avec l’immense écrivain de notre époque. Contre ceux qui veulent réduire le monde à une seule histoire, celle de leur folle croyance. Colère contre les mille mains qui tiennent ce genre de poignard.

@espiers I'm so glad (and I promise it's nothing personal).

Alexander Maksik's new novel, "The Long Corner," is "an argument for the necessity of irony, risk and integrity in the production of art as in life," our reviewer writes. https://t.co/HaMjMupceb

[Literary Hub @lithub]

"Unfortunately, an instinct to purity is an instinct to simplicity, and both are antithetical to good art." @AlexanderMaksik talks to @DwyerMurphy about "The Long Corner," the wellness industry, and post-recession New York.
