Just found out one of my favorite flash fiction writers has never read Das Kapital and doesn’t even know who Foucault is. I’m shattered. Can’t fathom how you write 200 words about being sad at work while not knowing about the superstructure. Total intellectual irresponsibility

Reading Stephen Beachy’s book recs has been—weird to think but true—one of the great pleasures of my life. & of his novels, Glory Hole comes closest to the indescribable experience of reading all those books. I also love his twin novellas Some Phantom/No Time Flat but start here.
Replying to @stephen_beachy
My big book: it's about AIDS, meth, porn, fake biographies, street outreach, the study of Arabic verb forms, Polish transgender modernists, obsession, future life forms, getting lost in the fog, prison as both metaphor & reality, madness, evil clowns, and mystical texts.

RIP Steve Weiner, 1947-24. Wrote 4 freakish queerish cult novels starting in the 90s, The Yellow Sailor, Sweet England, Duck Island. Some pages from his first, Museum of Love, which is like On the Road wearing its psychosexual freakout as a fur coat instead of seething subtext.

My short story “Skinny Dipping” is featured in the new issue of @YIVJournal ! So honored to be a part of this publication!
Issue 30 is here, and it's searching, seeking, straining for roots, for stylish shoes, and The Truth. It's about mysterious X-rays, motorcycles and masquerades, joyful silences and mild underhavens. It's voyeuristic, nostalgic, and completely out to sea. yourimpossiblevoice.com/issu…
