This one's for the dreamers. PURE OX, my latest contribution, out Jan 2027.

It's about Ox, a NYC sanitation worker whose big dream of becoming a real writer comes true—until everything he’s worked so hard for begins to crumble.

Thank ya.

Reviewed P.C. Verrone’s “Rabbit, Fox, Tar” for the New York Times Book Review. A novel that I believe is a necessary, even overdue, act of reclamation. @nytimesbooks

Hey everyone, paperback version of THIS GREAT HEMISPHERE drops next month, & I have the honor of sharing space with Robert Jones Jr. at @yuandmebooks, on 7/8 at 7pm in Manhattan.

Another horcrux. My third novel, PURE OX, out 2026. Be careful what you dream.

Thank you to everyone still reading BLACK BUCK, who opened up THIS GREAT HEMISPHERE & made it to the end. Sending you and your families nothing but good energy. I pray 2025 is your best year yet.

So...this happened! I still can't believe it. What a surprise! I never thought I would be in @RollingStone, but all things are possible for those who believe. Thank you Time Chan for the unexpected surprise. I truly appreciate it!

Does this mean I'm a rockstar? LOL!

@kennedyrwrites @BellCV @BostonGlobe Thank you, Kennedy! Really grateful for this one. And yes, see you soon 🥳

[Mateo Askaripour @AskMateo]

What a headline. I promise, there's also levity, adventure, & characters to both root for & despise. Love–of family, self–paired with the belief that the world can be improved upon, is the novel's engine. Thanks to @BellCV & @bostonglobe for this review: https://t.co/QHBYHGBPFK

“We stop restricting the breadth of our sight to roles, statuses, various affiliations. We make a conscious effort to first see others, and ourselves, as that label which will never fade: people.”

this piece from @AskMateo is exactly what i needed today https://t.co/iqAQbzgGVw

[Mateo Askaripour @AskMateo]

@OliviaAdekola @TIME Yeah, trying to provide context when appropriate. Thank you for reading and picking up TGH, Olivia.

[Mateo Askaripour @AskMateo]

On tour, I'd sometimes ask an audience to raise their hands if they'd ever felt invisible, and every hand would go up. I explore this feeling, as well as family, history, psychology, and the current state of the world, in my first piece for @TIME. https://t.co/izfipPiMu0

@DouglasMGordon @TIME Thank you, Doug.

[Mateo Askaripour @AskMateo]

Chatting with Doug and @wprBETA is one of the things I look forward to most now when doing book publicity. Thanks for this conversation, Doug. Appreciate your energy.
