Thanks @JenLouiseWilson for including such a perceptive analysis of The Party Upstairs in this really thoughtful take in @nytimesbooks on student debt in fiction.

@EthanChatagnier I literally got several screenshots/links to your tweet so I knew to hop on this thing, it was like an ideal concierge social media service. Thanks for being such a generous reader of The Party Upstairs! Can't freakin wait for Singer Distance...

I’m not on twitter much atm in an attempt to remain not-too-cynicism-drenched, but this is very kind, and goshhhh, so many beautiful books (and art! And music!) launched out into that early chaos!

[Ethan Chatagnier @EthanChatagnier]

Been thinking a lot lately about Lee Conell's THE PARTY UPSTAIRS, a very good novel that got lost in the early pandemic chaos. Fans of The White Lotus would be into it, I think, though it's less drenched in cyncism. I hope people will find their way back to it.

This #RoeVWade news dropping during this Gilded Age themed Met Gala is pretty dystopian

Alito’s draft heavily references English legal precedent, including that of famed jurist Sir Matthew Hale who, it should be noted, had at least two women executed for witchcraft and wrote a treatise supporting marital rape

[Guernica Magazine @GuernicaMag]

In “Organic Material,” a hallucinatory work of fiction by @LeeConell, suburban mothers seek refuge from impossible responsibilities in bathtubs full of dirt, where they find the vitality that they’ve been denied. #Dirt

Today in Texas you can carry a gun without a permit but you can’t register to vote online or get an abortion after 6 weeks
