it means so much to be able share this piece! and to show off the eleven bird species I can name

[The Paris Review @parisreview]

“I knew a birder once. I liked him—it’s pointless to deny it and in any case I don’t think I can write about him without it being abundantly clear—though we redirected early enough that friendship seemed possible.”

Read @maisiewg1’s The Birder. https://t.co/PaXdA3Lpmh

wrote on my collegiate efforts to produce a thesis for @SalmagundiMag (while thinking about similar efforts by the protagonists of Michelle de Krester and Rosalind Brown's recent novels): https://t.co/mfHrApkiBv

I wrote (belatedly) on Garth Greenwell's beautiful Small Rain and the problem of connecting with people when you don't know what they're going through for @ClearviewBooks https://t.co/fI8ADLduVn

[Cleveland Review of Books @clereviewbooks]

Our latest print issue is now online, ft. writing on things like Blue Prince, Meridel Le Sueur, boxing matches, difficulty as a virtue, living in a literal glass house, & so much more

I hope no one finds out how great this movie is so it never gets remade worse

My mother was the most unique person I have known. She died in 2017.

In 2021, I wrote a memoir essay about her for @Harpers: https://t.co/OGagBMCC6f

On Mother’s Day, excited to share I have written our story as a novel, out next summer with @penguinpress.

I love you, Mom.

A little unsettling that “cake” is the word they wanted in scare quotes

I'm really proud of this one--on my mother, Middlemarch, and that peculiar phrase "all but dissertation" @Missouri_Review https://t.co/ArNkaDDVnG

"'The Vulnerables' poses the question: why write fiction? Part of what’s at stake in the novel is the ambiguous relationship between reality and invention." Maisie Wiltshire-Gordon reads Sigrid Nunez’s “The Vulnerables." https://t.co/Ra7UuHUBhw

[Riverhead Books @riverheadbooks]

“THE VULNERABLES...insists on the possibility of connection. The novel’s most valuable offering comes from its ability to gather elements and hold them together, as we wished to hold one another. In this respect, love pervades every page.” @LAReviewofBooks https://t.co/M2i82kcMCJ

[Maisie Wiltshire-Gordon @maisiewg1]

Excited to share my review in @LAReviewofBooks of Sigrid Nunez’s The Vulnerables!

“‘I must be making it all up’: this is less an unmasking of novelistic events as invented than a recognition of the narrator’s particular form of agency. She is a writer.”

Thoreau and I both left our comfortable lives to do a little farming! And then we wrote about it—

[Cleveland Review of Books @clereviewbooks]

"Their most valuable contribution comes from showing where Thoreau's ideas can lead us when paired with a more robust sense of class consciousness and a stronger drive for action."
