[David S Wallace @JustJokes247]

I wrote about art and learning—and about The Pitt. Today “didactic” art is mostly a byword for “heavy-handed,” but it has a long cultural history. Why are we so afraid of a lesson?

I wrote about the kooky writer Elaine Kraf and her posthoumosly published novel MEMORY HOUSE. You can read it in print in the @Gagosian Mag, or online here: https://t.co/UJSL4YfjDw

[Brandy Jensen @BrandyLJensen]

Got to write about Nancy Lemann for The New Yorker! https://t.co/XT6gEWmXkj

Next Ayatollah should be an IPA uncle who fucks with Wilco heavy

[Andrew Marzoni @andrewmarzoni]

I profiled Richard Hell for @PoetryFound. https://t.co/r4r2uFwkVF

[Apoorva @storyshaped]

Wrote about one of my favourite novelists @AmitChaudhuri — a true champion of the infra-ordinary, of the fragment, of life's minor characters — & how he escapes/resists the strictures of narrative and history. Thanks to @nyrbclassics and @thebafflermag for publishing 😊

[Jacob Brogan @Jacob_Brogan]

I'm heartbroken by the Post's decision to eliminate its books coverage. The actual fact of my job aside, the existence of a standalone books section felt like a real celebration of a culture of literacy, dialogue, and even debate. It was a place to discover and celebrate.

[Andrew Eckholm @andreiwhoblev]

My essay on Wes Anderson, one of our most vital and most misunderstood filmmakers, up now at @the_point_mag.

My new novel, “My Lover, the Rabbi,” will be published by FSG in 2026. (I’m signed up there for a new book of essays, too.) Thanks to editor Jackson Howard and agent PJ Mark. @fsgbooks @FSGOriginals @JanklowNesbit

@cwik_greg thanks so much Greg!

[Bailey Trela @BaileyTrela]

agonizing to write about a book that comes with an amazing introduction by @ddillingworth — hard to find things to say he hasn't already put better!

[Bailey Trela @BaileyTrela]

had the chance to write about the doyen of microfiction Augusto Monterroso's only novel (out from @nyrbclassics) for @thebafflermag! https://t.co/kqGCzNdsCA
