"Improving the writing isn’t my goal, my goal is to make the writing go to new places, to explore things, to search for meaning, to look for the world." Knausgaard interviewed by @lydiakiesling, up today on the @parisreview site! theparisreview.org/blog/2021…

My new piece on COCKROACHES by Scholastique Mukasonga is now up on my blog - a powerful, hearbreaking account of her childhood in Rwanda and events leading up to horrific 1994 Rwandan genocide. Translated from the French by Jordan Stump. readersretreat2017.wordpress… @archipelagobks

"I didn’t know what to write when I started it, and I never do, but I do find the biology and the body intriguing, the bodily existence, the flesh, the matter without the spirit, the noncerebral being in the world." Knausgaard in @LAReviewofBooks lareviewofbooks.org/article/…

Just love the people @archipelagobks and their fantastic work. It’s almost as if they knew I could use some Giono right now. Thank you. And the Knausgaard (in hardcover) looks interesting too.

Sending love and hopes for safety to the bookstores of DC (and everyone else). We'll try to tweet about books later, solidarity to everyone fighting fascism and white supremacy in the meantime and always.
