PW review is in!! And I couldn’t be more delighted. publishersweekly.com/9781960…
Having a horrific time with Met Opera box office. Ticket support employee said her computer didn’t work so she couldn’t help me with my ( expensive) ticket issue and (rudely) told me to redial and ask for another agent. Then click! Hung up. @MetOpera
When I wrote my novel The Bulgarian Training Manual I imagined the “holy grail” of their quest as “a cerebral place” (one of the characters actually says this) but didn’t expect THIS !

Thank you America, thank you for your support, thank you for this visit. Thank you @POTUS, Congress, and the American people.
Ukraine needs just and lasting peace, and we are working exactly for that.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.
He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.
Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Breathless at being a part of this beautiful project. The editor’s note has maybe the most perfect paragraph about boxing I’ve ever read.
“It’s just this thing, and we love it.”
And this thing is for charity. See @WritersOnBoxing for information
