Really enjoyed this essay on MIDDLEMEN in the latest @bookforum, which articulated some of the limits of structural studies of publishing (as much as I love them). bookforum.com/print/3301/alw…

Dupuy-Spencer took on the politics of the Trump era in her paintings, which were often huge in scale, vast in historical purview, and complex in their moral posture. One of her most famous works was "Father, Don't You See that I am Burning," a painting of the January 6 riot.

Dupuy-Spencer's work confronts politics and moral failure; her death tasks us with understanding the burden of witness. Please read: bookforum.com/print/3301/por…

For @bookforum, I wrote about the film critic David Thomson, both his wonderful and crazy The New Biographical Dictionary of Film and his disappointing new book. bookforum.com/print/3301/med… Thank you to Michael Miller for the commission and beautiful edits.

For @bookforum's summer issue, I wrote about a book I loved and a book I didn't, both of which helped me think about revolution and reproduction: bookforum.com/print/3301/all…

Michael Silverblatt was a great reader, a great talker, and a great champion of so many Dalkey Archive Press authors. We’ll be posting some of our favorite interviews all week. Tonight, listen to his conversation with William H. Gass about “The Tunnel”: kcrw.com/shows/bookworm/stor…

For the new 'Bookforum' I talked with A.S. Hamrah (@hamrahrama) about the glorious legacy of 'Entertainment Weekly', the degeneracy of certain audiences, cinephilia in the upstate New York/Canadian borderlands, and Serge Daney. bookforum.com/print/3203/alg…

You should subscribe to @Granta tho, not only because my prose like everyone's looks better in print, but so that you can e.g. read in the same issue @_jessebarron's "Transference in the Afternoon," which as journalism abt psychoanalysis is something Janet Malcolm would've envied

"This fresh and smart volume of criticism on Morrison’s work pierces with a playfulness that can only come from intimate knowledge.... Whoever eventually writes ON SERPELL will have a difficult task ahead of them." Last line is the way to a writer's heart! bookforum.com/print/3203/a-h…
