Announcement! This has been in the works for a long time, but now I’m finally able to share it: my very first music album is here! It’s called “Ambient Music for Infinite Jest”, holds 10 tracks; good for an hour of ambient soundscapes.

@darwin8u I didn’t see many Olga Tokarczuk books in bookstores before the Nobel, now I see many. I didn’t see many Jon Fosse books in bookstores before the Nobel, now I see many. I didn’t see many Han Kang books in bookstores before the Nobel, now I see many.

László Krasznahorkai – awarded the 2025 #NobelPrize in Literature – was born in 1954 in the small town of Gyula in southeast Hungary, near the Romanian border. A similar remote rural area is the scene of Krasznahorkai’s first novel ‘Sátántangó’, published in 1985 (‘Satantango’, 2012), which was a literary sensation in Hungary and the author’s breakthrough work.

Congrats #Krasznahorkai!

@raviddice The Sunken Land Begins To Rise Again is his great “late” novel. Climbers perhaps his most brilliant. Wish I Was Here is fun and exciting for writers. Also almost all of his short stories are worth the dig as well.

Struggling to say anything worthwhile other than I’m grateful for the writing and thankful that Bill is kind enough to call me friend. And that everyday matters.

@DeepVellum @maxdaniellawton I’m glad to see that this iconic cover will also grace the translated edition!

[The Late Author @thelateauthor]

I really love this adaptation and think about rewatching it each month or so 😎

@bradkelly Well, if you find that Wolfe as compelling as I did then there are 4 more books you’ll read ;)

[The Late Author @thelateauthor]

Easily one of the best short story collections ever!!

William Blake was born on this day in 1757. Obsessed with the color of the sun.

David Pelham's covers for Penguin Science Fiction. I love how they range from the sublime to the ridiculous...

@travelstoriesyt I will note this down. I only got The Vegetarian (unread) on the shelf.

This cover looks cool as hell. But do I need it? #saturdaybookshopping

He has forged his influences, excesses, expertises, & compassions into something singular in American letters. He is a “morbid anatomist” par excellence of loneliness, violence, and love. Today & everyday I say: award the Nobel Prize in Literature to William Tanner Vollmann.
