    I've a ton of new followers recently, so I'd like to say: Hello! I'm a writer, editor, and educator who believes that experimental literature can be as fun as it's demanding. If you're ever looking for book recs -or even my own work- check out my website!

    It was well worth the wait! Season 2 of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was a City of God-esque recording of a few people dammed to die and in search of meaning. The dub cast performed wonderfully. It's the closest the genre has felt to Delany's short stories, melancholic and meditative.

    It's the month of Halloween, my favorite holiday! I love the return of Fall with its transformative, melancholic moods and the lurking chance of terror. Every October, I try to reread, rewatch, replay, and relisten to select spooky works. Maybe you might enjoy trying them too?

    If I had to pick my most personal nine novels, I'd have to frame it around those novels which either provided a vocabluary for how I thought, or such violent "eureka!" moments that radically transformed my approach to writing. How wonderful that such lists continue to change.

    Another weekend begun with my top 9! Since I first heard album, they've remained requirements on my every mp3 player. And specifically France The Mute's Japanese pressing, which includes its titular track.

    Just 9 albums was too cruel! I simply needed to expand the list a little more. Depending on the time of year, any one of these could be in heavier circulation than first set of essentials.

    Picking my top nine games is much harder than choosing among my favorite books! But if I had to curate, I would do so based on those games which I try to return to at least once each year. So many hours spent in simulations which draw further satisfaction from me each time.

    ... and if I had the chance to expand that list further, I would! My artistic education has always been modular and multimedia. As our lives and experiences grow more complex, I appreciate an art form that comprehends our world in fantastical, ruthilarious fashion.

    I've been asked a few times in the last month about books I've read and their context. Friends found it interesting, so I thought others might too. I'd like to talk about the best college class I ever took: The Blues Odyssey!

    @EmmettStinson What a book! While not itself a secondary text, I found Paul Carter Harrison's The Drama of Nommo a great primer for Divine Days' narrative structure. The novel's language play was a delight, but reading narratology and performance as part of the novel gifted layers of payoff.

    The course clearly meant a lot to me! Taken in my freshman year, such lessons informed my own writing, the poems and fictions I wrote and the theories which invigorated me. The course taught me how to travel the world and listen in order to write my honors thesis.

    While such a course was a singular experience, its lessons are still available! Throughout this thread are links to the lectures and works that filled the semester. Such experiences are invaluable, those that encourage transformation and play to find and recall community.

    The next great writer is here! Djamel Bouchenaki's debut novel comes out next year, but you can read an excerpt now at @MinorLits. He writes a simmering, musical descent into fury like Rachid Boudjedra, Mathias Ènard, and John Hawkes before him. Get to know this future titan!

    Divine Days by Leon Forrest is one of the great U.S. novels of the 20th century! The novel's play with metaphor across language, narrative, and tones produces that collage of identity that coheres place and people. Like its peers, it's definitive of U.S. literary traditions.

    This is unsurprisingly excellent but also funnier and weirder than I thought it would be.

    Discussing the greatest works of fiction from the new century can be a fun exercise in curation, but it's too early to sift the rubble. Any statement otherwise is probably marketing! More useful for us to ask: which new fictions could never have been conceived before our time?

    Another birthday, another set of books! Moshi treats me with a needed dive toward Ferrante. Marlon James' ouevre is among the best in contemporary English usage; I'm ready for this new doorstop. This could also be my tenth consecutive year completing a new manuscript. Onward!
