Reading The Grip of It by @jacjemc because I spotted it on this picture I shared online. I’ve read most of these, but that one missed me. And now I’m outraged it took this long to find me. That’s that bone-deep-fear kinda writing. Love it.

Received some good news today that after Clarion wraps in early August I’ll be on leave until late March. I feel so lucky. My ambitions might be too big, but I feel like I can finish one project and get a solid draft done on two others. 🤞I am going to make the most of this time.

This week at Clarion!! I’ve been assigning Tochi Onyebuchi’s story “How to Pay Reparations: a Documentary” for a few years now and love this book so hard, so I’m so excited to work with him and learn from him in workshop! 💜

It’s such a privilege to review for @nytbooks. Honestly my whole career has been having low expectations, but going for it anyway, and this is one of those things I never thought I’d be invited to do. This book is a really troubling summer read. You’ll tear through it.

Leah: Chain Gang All-Stars by @NK_Adjei and it is blowing my mind. Adam: Oh my gosh, so many! The one I'm enjoying the most is Empty Theatre by @jacjemc which will probably end up as one of my favorites of the year.
