@jamesamarcus @PushkinPress_US Thank you, James!

[Ben George @bencgeorge]

I'm eager to get started and look forward to working with many wonderful authors and publishing many spectacular books!

[Ben George @bencgeorge]

Our goal is simple but ambitious: to make Pushkin one of the leading independent publishers in America, just as it has become in the UK over the past decade.

@RonCharles I'm sorry they've made this terrible decision. You've long been my favorite writer on books -- the wittiest, most astute, and spot-on. That will remain true wherever I read your writing. (The Harry & David pear quip is yet one more example.)

Zoom in for an amazing letter (circa 1989) from Tom Robbins to the bookstore—about The Satanic Verses & Rushdie. Very rousing.

[Elliott Bay Book Co. @ElliottBayBooks]

Tom Robbins ❤️ A letter Tom sent to EBBC's then-manager Kristy in 1989, and a signed poster that brightens our office hallway each day. Our thoughts are with his family. Tom, you will be deeply missed.

@brychristian @Logically_JC Very sad but very true.

[Ben George @bencgeorge]

@AlanZibel That makes sense.

A treat to see the fantastic SPLINTERS by @lsjamison in Esquire’s Top 20 Books of the Year!

@Puyana @TexasMonthly Wonderful piece, Ale, and I loved seeing the photos of you and your family -- especially the one of you and your brother as youngsters!

[Ben George @bencgeorge]

@brychristian @washingtonpost Same action on my end. I was furious.

The complaint goes back to at least 1907, apparently.

Texas plans to execute Robert Roberson at 6 pm tonight, despite evidence of his innocence. The courts and parole board have failed to stop the execution.

So legislators have issued an “unprecedented subpoena” in a last-ditch effort to save his life.

Brilliant & necessary reporting and writing about election interference efforts in GA from the indefatigable @DougBockClark (who also happens to be the author of the magisterial NF book #TheLastWhalers), featured on @LastWeekTonight

[Charles Ornstein @charlesornstein]

Great to see the love for @DougBockClark @hvogell stories on @LastWeekTonight last night.

@SimonWDC @JaysonFras To invoke CA and NY is a straw man. I said PA, GA, AZ, and NV. Trump is ahead in AZ and GA, within a point in NV, within 2 points in PA (538 averages). That’s MOE levels and completely possible. The point is not to make a 2016 mistake and to keep working.

[Ben George @bencgeorge]

@SimonWDC Dipshit? You’re an MSNBC commentator, dude. No need to bring the discourse down to Trump or Musk levels because of a fact check. I’m pulling for Kamala every day. I just wouldn’t use what the Trump campaign is saying as a truth barometer. It’s math.

[Ben George @bencgeorge]

@stepfordnot Congratulations, Katharine! The stellar campaigns will continue unabated. :)
