wrote a bit about siegfried kracauer's weimar-era novel ginster (out from @nyrbclassics) for the washington post! a sort of mashup of musil and berlin alexanderplatz

had the chance to write about the doyen of microfiction Augusto Monterroso's only novel (out from @nyrbclassics) for @thebafflermag! thebaffler.com/latest/perfec…
agonizing to write about a book that comes with an amazing introduction by @ddillingworth — hard to find things to say he hasn't already put better!

obviously this person's not super smart, but what the heck — landlords in the city will charge whatever they can get away with, so if young people with parental support pay astronomic rents, young people without parental support will be rapidly priced out of the city
Super excited about this @clereviewbooks event! I'll be reading from my mean piece about Marilynne Robinson, which is another good reason to subscribe: clereviewofbooks.com/subscri…
the brutalist is far and away one of the worst films I've seen — at points just purely unintelligble, a stream of images without sense, like staring into a poorly disguised void
if you're looking for a long post-thanksgiving read, for Vol. 2.2 of my beloved @clereviewbooks I read every book Marilynne Robinson's ever written and tried to get to the bottom of why her fiction has always struck me as second-rate! clereviewofbooks.com/subscri…
"The multiple proves inescapable. Tendency never becomes determination." Not to spoil the ending, but this @DuncanAStuart joint is PHENOMENAL. Giono himself is wonderful, and to see him get that punchy, Barthesian treatment is an absolute delight. Read, read, read!
Got to write about Murakami's latest (plus a new translation of one his early novels) for @vulture! vulture.com/article/haruki-m…

no one really seems to talk about Buddenbrooks, but it's simply got to be one of the greatest novels ever written — completely different from The Magic Mountain but, to my mind, an equal achievement
@DuncanAStuart is back in action with an EXTRAORDINARY piece in @clereviewbooks that's worth it entirely for its pitch-perfect commentary on Celan — and then, gratis, you just happen to get some wonderful comparative thoughts on Tawada
"Celan pushes what is light and human in his work into the background, to bring tragedy to the fore. Yoko Tawada does the opposite. Tawada's 𝑃𝑎𝑢𝑙 𝐶𝑒𝑙𝑎𝑛 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑇𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑠-𝑇𝑖𝑏𝑒𝑡𝑎𝑛 𝐴𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑙 is where they meet." @DuncanAStuart tinyurl.com/2er4cxj4
I've often wondered if the Ernaux we're given in English is TOO stripped-down, but regardless, Ernaux has famously written in a well-theorized, stripped-down style that's almost certainly gotten its due in English

went way too long on the newest coetzee, late style, translation, courtly love, and more for my beloved @clereviewbooks! clereviewofbooks.com/writing…
thank you to @rjgittings for the wonderful edits and @wanna_bri for ignoring the word count!

very excited to have an inflammatory review in this!
Our next issue is off to the printer. Think 2.1, but inverted—literally, with our black-and-white cover mirroring the ombré of the last. Think boxed sets, but little mags. Preorder? Preorder:

so excited I got to talk with the inimitable @IneluctableQuak about his fantastic new novel American Abductions (out from @Dalkey_Archive) for @BOMBmagazine! bombmagazine.org/articles/20…
