My letter in this week’s issue of @thetls.bsky.social Finding myself in uncharted waters, I felt it necessary. Share if you care about making room in our literary culture for work that swims against the tide.

Here's a hot take about Guillermo's book. He could've simply published Tale of Three Voyages as a standalone novel and critics would've praised him for picking up where he left off with Lake of Urine. But where's the fun in that?

"With his novel, The Coast of Everything, author Guillermo Stitch swims against a particularly challenging tide." Many thanks to @jeffchon.bsky.social and @ocreviewofbooks.bsky.social for this review. ocreviewofbooks.org/2026/08/04/t...

The Coast of Everything by Guillermo Stitch

"What each review has in common with the others is that it reads like the report of a surveyor who can’t find the front door, and so (for his supper) surveys the facade." A response to some baffling reviews of The Coast of Everything. Share if you care. www.3ammagazine.com/3am/a-litera...

In the @thetls.bsky.social, re @guillermostitch.bsky.social, 'The Coast of Everything,' and the necessity of messy, drunken literature.

1/ In a reply to @thetls.bsky.social's review of @guillermostitch.bsky.social's THE COAST OF EVERYTHING, @cdrose.bsky.social argues our case: "Stitch and his publisher ... may not indeed have received the memo, and I am pleased they did not, or wholeheartedly ignored it if they did..."

Deeply grateful for this amazing review from an amazing writer.
