This place, largely because of its duplicitous owner, has become untenable. So, ta ta! If you want to find me, I’ll be in at least two of the other places: one provides Insta— gratification, the other is like Threading a needle. Cheers, it was fun for a while!
Just had lunch with @JennyeJackson: my great friend and brilliant editor — and also the fantastic novelist behind PINEAPPLE STREET (Read it if you haven’t already!) — at the Odeon. Yes, THAT Odeon from Bright Lights, Big City. I brought my copy!

Do I get to introduce the authors tonight at Earfull? I do.
Am I excited about that? I am.
Words and music and maybe a couple of drinks? It never gets old.

Oh, my! #Monsters from @ClaireDederer is so good! It’s thoughtful, thought provoking, funny (!) — if you’ve ever wondered what to do when you love the Art but the Artist is an Ass, you need this book. Trust me! @AAKnopf
