Harriet Clark is the daughter of a jailed revolutionary. Her debut novel, “The Hill,” shows that rigid ideology is no match for the humanizing presence of a child, @JuliusTaranto writes: https://t.co/fWBWC7MmvZ

Many thanks to @Borisk for letting me write about Harriet Clark’s wonderful new novel for @TheAtlantic — link in thread.

My latest, about what was not my favorite work by George Saunders

[The Atlantic @TheAtlantic]

George Saunders’s work makes an excellent case for moral fiction—even if his latest novel, “Vigil,” reveals its pitfalls, @JuliusTaranto writes: https://t.co/Bcsw4HNpst

With thanks to @Adam_Langer — I spoke with Steve Zipperstein about his very interesting new biography of Philip Roth. https://t.co/FenDmxgMjC

On today's @reason Roundtable, I recommend novels by @rhymeswithbee @JuliusTaranto @LexiFreiman and @nealstephenson (The Big U!). And that's arguably the *least* interesting part of our weekly show. Subscribe now, receive automatically when posted this PM https://t.co/xzQrgvy9W6

There are no material differences

[Nick Gillespie @nickgillespie]

Novelist @JuliusTaranto makes the case that our era's Marcel Proust is... @joerogan! Good stuff. Full @reason Q&A with Taranto and @rhymeswithbee about contemporary satire in first comment.

[Julius Taranto @JuliusTaranto]

A profound question that only podcasts are equipped to answer

[Nick Gillespie @nickgillespie]

Is @joerogan today's answer to Marcel Proust? The answer might surprise you. New @reason Interview is live with @rhymeswithbee & @JuliusTaranto talking the return of satire, free speech, and how new media empowers us all. https://t.co/7eOexMLAZs

@JuliusTaranto @nickgillespie when publishers mail me books I can’t laugh at, it’s like, you call this a book?

[Nick Gillespie @nickgillespie]

NYC: Come out next Thur, 3/20 for a live taping of the @reason Interview with @rhymeswithbee & @JuliusTaranto abt satire in the age of Biden, Trump, @elonmusk, et al.

In 1961(!), Philip Roth declaimed that reality had become too unreal for novelists to capture! What can artists do now? $15 tix includes beer, wine, soda, food--and great conversation in one of the coolest settings in Manhattan. Details, tix:

March 20, in NYC, @nickgillespie @rhymeswithbee and I will decide, once and for all time, when laughing at a book is (a) acceptable or (b) mandatory.

Attend if you want to stay on the right side of the law.

My somewhat delayed essay about Becca Rothfeld’s book from last year, over at @the_met_review

[Julius Taranto @JuliusTaranto]

It’s possible if you’re a visionary like me

[Nick Gillespie @nickgillespie]

In 1961 (!), Philip Roth said satire was impossible in America because the news had just gotten too weird. On March 20 in NYC for @reason, I'll ask novelists @rhymeswithbee & @JuliusTaranto to explain why Roth was and is still all wrong. Tix:
