So I woke up this morning to find out that Ozzy Osbourne’s son made a video falsely accusing me of using AI to write a Rolling Stone article about the Tate brothers.

I gathered all the books by women in translation from my shelves that I haven’t read yet. Next month is going to be a fun reading month! #witmonth
Just designed and sent in a print ad for our two fall books. I gotta say, looking at it all laid out there, they sound pretty fucking good.

“The device of ventriloquism is awkward . . . it involves both distancing and intimacy.” — @lanalin.bsky.social speaking with Katie Pruden on writing from her partner’s perspective in The Autobiography of H. Lan Thao Lam. @dorothyproject.bsky.social publicseminar.org/2026/07/inte...

No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.
AI labs buy, scan, shred millions of rare books
If you have retreated to physical books because the internet is too full of AI slop, bad news — now they’re shredding the books to feed their AI slop machines.

2 that I think intersect this in interesting ways. Suite for Barbara Loden portersquarebooks.com/book/9780997... & The Third Hotel portersquarebooks.com/book/9781250...
Suite for Barbara Loden
The second in Nathalie Léger’s acclaimed genre-defying triptych of books about the struggles and obsessions of women artists. “I believe there is a miracle in Wanda,” wrote Marguerite Duras of the only film American actress Barbara Loden ever wrote and directed. “Usually, there is a distance between representation and text, subject and action. Here that distance is completely eradicated.” It is perhaps this “miracle”—the seeming collapse of fiction and fact—that has made Wanda (1970) a cult classic, and a fascination of artists from Isabelle Huppert to Rachel Kushner to Kate Zambreno. For acclaimed French writer Nathalie Léger, the mysteries of Wanda launched an obsessive quest across continents, into archives, and through mining towns of Pennsylvania, all to get closer to the film and its maker. Suite for Barbara Loden is the magnificent result.

Vincent O'Connell@vincentoconnell.co.uk · 2w agoI love your recommendations. It's fun, and always turns up something interesting. What I'm seeking at the moment, and probably modern but maybe isn't, is a fiction which deals with the survival of creativity in the film industry. I found Zola's 'The Masterpiece' wonderful so the field is open. x

Love it when we get bookseller blurbs! “A spectacular debut. I opened this book on a whim, on a Sunday morning, and couldn’t pull myself away until the afternoon. I’m a sucker for novels with characters who are also young academics, but . . .
started re-reading some old favorites (something I rarely do) and am currently feeling a huge burst of inspiration

I'm greatly looking forward to reading this novel. Denise Rose Hansen was a founder of Lolli Editions, on of the most consistent excellent publishers of recent years.

My suggestion is this extraordinary novel pub. by @dorothyproject.bsky.social . My review of it will be on the Fallow website soon, I hope!
I've just finished the best book that I'll read this year: Renee Gladman's My Lesbian Novel. Everything is gonna be down hill from here (unless I reread her Ravicka series) 😂

a) college is not trade school. the point is not only to get a high paying job b) this will destroy fields like social work and librarianship, which are super important but wildly underpaid even though they often require advanced degrees in part because they’re “care” jobs primarily held by women
NPR@npr.org · 3w agoIf an undergraduate program's graduates don't earn more than workers who never went to college, that program could be cut off from federal student loans. But is a degree just about making more money?
25 years ago Kelly & I published our first season's titles — all 2 of them: first collections from Kelly (Stranger Things Happen; art: Shelley Jackson) & Ray Vukcevich (Meet Me in the Moon Room; art Rafał Olbinski). Buy either this month, we'll send you both: smallbeerpress.com/not-a-journa...
“I treated the translation of this novel like a poem, in that I let the strangeness wash over me and didn’t try to think too hard about making things ‘make sense.’” ALTA member Alex Niemi and Sarah Viren discuss Niemi's translation process and the rhythm of language. At Lit Hub:
