My latest book: Ethan Hawke & Me, was a staff pick @kramerbooks in August, but I just noticed it now :).

[Andrew Bertaina @andrewbertaina]

Really fun reading at the 804 lit salon last night with @kristina_ten , @_michaelbarron , @Karen_Palmer , Hannah Grieco, Darby Price, Jessica Robinson and Tim Stafford. It was a lovely evening to hear from a bunch of talented folks :)

Always appreciate it when people connect with my work. This particular essay was written in a time of intense parenting and intense self-interrogation. It’s maybe the most straight forward and no BS essay in the whole book.

Thank you, Stephanie Austin. Early reports are that you are just fine not having seen the movies. But maybe watch them now? We can DM about them.

[Andrew Bertaina @andrewbertaina]

Solid state books next Tuesday at 7p to chat with @TimDenevi about Ethan Hawke & Me.

[Karan Madhok @KaranMadhok1]

Last month, some major outlets published an AI-generated summer reading list - filled with nonexistent books by real & fake authors… So I’ve been inspired to ‘human generate’ a completely fraudulent list of Indian book recommendations for @TheChakkar https://t.co/oRIHeGD9zM

[Andrew Bertaina @andrewbertaina]

Book mail with a twist

Only thing better than having my book in a vending machine of DC authors would be if our books were piled in a big heap and you had 15 seconds to manipulate a claw to pick one at random. (LitBox 2.0?) Looking forward to reading this Saturday (5/17)! w/@marthaannetoll & Kyoko Mori
