Waiting for the Miracle (The Cupboard, 2020). Other words @ Best American Mystery Stories, Splice, Numero Cinq, Music & Literature, Booth, Gargoyle etc.
Will be reviewing this book later this summer, but what a fucking thrill to be back reading Watson's wild, ecstatic, raunchy, heartbreaking tales of the perplexed and anxious.
For various reasons I've been listening to endless recordings of 1990s talk-radio & news shows
The world is always about to end on them. Always. In a dozen different ways. War. Weather. Tech catastrophes
Apocalypse is just how modern people get through the day

@TLiterarian@nyrbclassics Re Gallant: V of Exile is easier to get into than Paris Stories, IMO. If you've struggled w/ Gallant, suggest skipping Fenton Child and go straight to The End of the World in this collection. U can always come back to Fenton later. Worth it, but it's a big story, takes some time.

@kesemmel Been trying this with Sonic Youth. Our 12 yr old just looks at me like I’m the least cool dad ever and disgustedly asks, “What even is this?”
