@mxwfx So good! I think this has the essays on Forbush’s Birds of New England and on Marquis’s Archy & Mehitabel, among lots of great others!

Dipping a toe back in this fetid pool to share how thrilled I am w/ Missouri Williams’s new novel THE VIVISECTORS! 1/3 in & utterly mesmerized! Fans of THE DOLORIAD clap your hands (thinking of you @larisangela)! Congrats @misery_williams & Thanks @mcdbooks!

@DrDavidVernon I know there was carefully curated musical accompaniment to this build—would love to know what.

@ryanhasbadtaste Vohlman? Billy? "the multi-volume thing"? What is this in, haha?

[Jeremy Koenig 📚 @KoenigRMHS]

@ryanhasbadtaste Saw Mark Doten at P&P for his new story collection last August. Saw Jazmina Barrera and translator Megan McDowell last November at Lost City Books. Nothing since, so yeah, feels a bit dead for me, too.

[Jeremy Koenig 📚 @KoenigRMHS]

@stujallen Love that cover for WE ARE GREEN AND TREMBLING! Love this one, too.

@evanbirnholz We all know Frank lives for these evils.

[Jeremy Koenig 📚 @KoenigRMHS]

@ryanhasbadtaste Yeah, the Whoopi Goldberg fixation had a real Bateman/Phil Collins vibe.

[Jeremy Koenig 📚 @KoenigRMHS]

@ryanhasbadtaste Was this the event in DC at P&P for My Year of Rest and Relaxation? That was a great event!

Warmed by all the remembrances of Michael Silverblatt on here today. Glad to have been part of a short-lived Bookworm book club w/ a few hosts including Silverblatt, who rekindled my love for Fitzgerald’s Gatsby. Thrilled for those who knew him well and got to talk books. 📚 ❤️
