Super Bowl Sunday. Let someone else make the dip. Read this fantastic 142-page novel you've never heard of and you'll never forget this day.

The Modern Library put “Fifth Business” 40th on its list of the 100 best novels of the 20th century. In 272 brisk pages, it covers World War I, sex and love in the 1920s -- and a snowball that misses its target. It’s unforgettable. https://t.co/lyZR9x5Z2P

On M.L. King’s birthday, “Parting the Waters,” Taylor Branch’s Pulitzer-winning biography, is the book to read.

@drtjonesged @jayrosen_nyu Would Marty Baron have run this? Very doubtful.

Louise Gluck has died. You have only to read her to know how her themes – love, hope, age, death, the body, and yes, sex — connect with what you know, what you’ve been thinking, and what you haven’t yet thought. https://t.co/EmdX5GMhXe

Robin Williams killed himself on August 11, 2014. (Feels like more than 9 years, doesn’t it?) I profiled him ages earlier for New York. He shared pretty much everything with me. Be prepared to laugh…and feel very sad. https://t.co/nFsqdAz2oC

President Biden signed a proclamation to honor Emmett Till. He wasn’t the last Black boy to be lynched: that was Michael Donald, in Alabama, in 1981. I wrote that story for the NY Times Magazine. It’s the best, certainly the saddest story I ever wrote. https://t.co/fQetJEyw5n

Sylvester was Pride Month all by himself/herself. “Sylvester was gay, black, a woman and a man. His sound brought to mind a bright, soft, blue-skied world — one where race and gender no longer divide us and we love whom, when and how we want.”

Shirley Jackson’s short story “The Lottery” was published in The New Yorker 75 years ago, in the issue of June 26, 1948. It’s the most famous scary story published in America. The graphic adaptation? Even scarier. Don't sample right before bedtime.

Summer in the Hamptons: Time for "On Goldman Pond," my short story about Goldman Sachs buying up Hamptons' real estate. It could easily be non-fiction.

How we loved and admired #TinaTurner. Rest in peace and power, Tina — your resilience, ferocity, and seismic soul power will resonate forever. WFUV will honor the legendary Tina Turner, who has passed away at age 83, later and in the days to come. More: https://t.co/i1SBKkhdDM

In all the tributes to Tina Turner, I haven't seen one that points to her superpower: Buddhism. https://t.co/kv9Tiq9oXs

There’s plenty of ugliness in the world these days, which should make us especially grateful for people like @MargaretRenkl, @headbutler, and @AniPemaChodron who remind us to look for the beauty: https://t.co/B7uJxRdAil
