“The media simply can’t discuss a work of literature without pointing to some writer-hero. And yet there is no work of literature that is not the fruit of tradition, of many skills, of a sort of collective intelligence.” — Elena Ferrante

jd vance's book sharing similar title with a bell hooks book, increasing sales 1000%, and landing bell on the bestsellers list is peak late-stage capitalism feminist prophecy spellcasting coming home to roost.

We both like to set books free in the wild after done reading them, but same principle applies--just for strangers

The nice things about books: once you own them, you own them, forever. No one will be eye tracking your reading habits. No one will make money of you reading the book as many times as you'd like. And the very same book can be read by generations to come. It can last centuries, literally. It's great.

The secret everyone tries to sell you via systems and coaching and prompts is no secret at all. You sit down and do the work. Write, edit, and rewrite per omnia secula seculorum. Music is on. Time to think, do the work, cast the spells, talk to the spirits…

over in the GHOULISH discord we started talking about how bands don't seem to name themselves after horror movies anymore, which raised the question: if you were starting a band, which horror movie title are you recycling? we already called dibs on Jennifer's Bodies.

Being part of the fiction jury for the Pulitzer Prize means you read A LOT of books. Inevitably, there’s more excellent work than you can count. Since the prize has been announced, I’m recommending five other books that I read and loved during the process. Read ‘em all!

We couldn't agree more 👇 The terrifying mouth of the cosmic universe is very balmy this time of year.

“Artists are nourished by each other more than by fame or by the public, I’ve always thought. To give one’s work to the world is an experience of peculiar emptiness. The work goes away from the artist into a void, like a message stuck into a bottle and flung into the sea.” — Joyce Johnson
