Helen Oyeyemi’s latest is brilliant and frustrating, a novel about shape-shifting texts that changed what I wanted to get out of reading it as I went along—I wrote about it for the new @bookforum

Absolutely in awe of this review by @lisa_borst, which manages to be 100% authoritative and deliriously fun and entertaining at the same time. This should be impossible! But it turns out it isn't. The treatment that Nicholson Baker deserves. https://t.co/dg0CgMUaIh

This is our last day at Bookforum. Thank you to our writers and readers, and everyone else over the years who made the magazine what it is. Farewell, The Editors
We at Bookforum are so touched by the support the magazine has received this week. Now feels like a good time to revisit some of our greatest hits from over the years. And we’d love to hear your favorites, too. In no particular order:
Getting to work at and write for Bookforum has been a thrill and an education and an honor. Today is awful, and also a reminder of the obvious: the magazine means so much to so many, and it does not belong in the past!
Just a note to say I am enormously proud of the what we did at Bookforum. I was so lucky to work with the editors for more than 10 years as the design director. I know how beloved it was by so many people. My first issue as design director was fall 2011
