That the Guggenheim folks saw me worthy of a fellowship is, I hope, a testament to the idea that people in prison can create successful careers and we don't have to wait for someone to set us free before we make our mark. #guggfellows2026

all the crass transactional elements of book promotion that allow true artists to focus on their craft instead of the logistics for making little videos

[John J. Lennon @JohnJLennon1]

For @MarshallProj and @nysfocus, I wrote a feature about the desperation here in New York prisons: fallout from the strike, only 5 commutations from @GovKathyHochul in 2 years, no sentencing reform.

A few days later, the @nypost ran an editorial with some curious similarities:

[New York Focus @nysfocus]

“The opposite of hope is desperation, and it’s dangerous for this population to feel desperate.”

John J. Lennon writes from Sing Sing about how New York could ease the chaos in the prison system.

Review: He just headlined the Super Bowl halftime show and won album of the year at the Grammy Awards.

But Bad Bunny’s biggest achievement is what “P FKN R” spends 300 pages outlining: his ability to couple celebration with activism. https://t.co/qMVnkDYwq9

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

“P FKN R,” a new book, argues that Bad Bunny, always unabashed in his love and support for Puerto Rico, has engaged in “politics of resistance” by coupling celebration with activism. https://t.co/qMVnkDYwq9

Jacob is one of the sharpest, kindest editors I’ve worked with in my decade as a book publicist. The loss of Book World is devastating and jarring for many reasons, but I’m esp sad to lose such an ally and close reader at WaPo. Wherever he goes next will win the editor lottery.

[Jacob Brogan @Jacob_Brogan]

The Washington Post is eliminating many sections. Book World, my section, is among them.

You really have to be an evil billionaire to fire Ron Charles.

[David Klion @DavidKlion]

The Washington Post employs Becca Rothfeld, the best and most laureled young nonfiction book critic in the business, and they’re killing her whole section. So bleak.

[megan posco @MeganPosco]

Don’t comment much on anything here anymore but this deserves its own post: fuck this, and fuck Jeff Bezos.

[Max Tani @maxwelltani]

In addition to sports, the Washington Post is killing its book section, suspending its Post Reports podcast, restructuring its metro section, and shrinking its international footprint.

[Rolling Stone @RollingStone]

An exclusive excerpt from the new book 'P FKN R: How Bad Bunny Became the Global Voice of Puerto Rican Resistance' traces the star's political approach — and what it has meant in Puerto Rico and beyond.

[The Hedgehog Review @hedgehogreview]

New online: Phil Christman writes on imprisoned journalist John J. Lennon's attempt to "solve the world’s hardest rhetorical problem."

Our new book Master Plan releases today — the same day that Citizens United author Anthony Kennedy is releasing his memoir defending that decision legalizing corruption.

Our book exposes the untold story of Kennedy’s time as a corporate lobbyist handing out cash to politicians.

[The Atlantic @TheAtlantic]

In a new book, John J. Lennon presses two cases: that his is a work of legitimate journalism, and that his journalism makes him something more than a killer, Elizabeth Bruenig writes: https://t.co/A1LywNJ8rk

[David Dayen @ddayen]

Here's an exclusive excerpt from @davidsirota's new book Master Plan, about how the Ad Council ran a public service announcement for *capitalism* back in the 70s.

[megan posco @MeganPosco]

A great article by @lisapeet1 in @LibraryJournal about the unconventional book tour for John J. Lennon’s THE TRAGEDY OF TRUE CRIME. Over the past several years, John has showed me almost anything is possible from prison. Why not a book tour, then?
