Authoritarian regimes benefit from people who are not smart enough to get promoted in traditional ladders but ambitious enough to commit crimes in their efforts to get ahead. Regimes give them a path.

Maybe I shouldn't have scheduled my students to read SCHOOL FOR GOOD MOTHERS directly after the beautifully meditative PIRANESI. "This book is ragebait!" one student declared of SCHOOL. I don't disagree.

I've been teaching Susanna Clarke's PIRANESI this week and my God, what a lovely, lovely book. As the world gets progressively madder and more anxious, it's been a pleasure to return to its peaceful halls. If you haven't read this splendid fantasy novel yet, do yourself a favor and pick it up.

I'm delighted to report I have a very 19C Irish Gothic story in this very Halloween-ish anthology coming out later this year! I'm looking forward to reading the whole thing.

Had my first time teaching GIDEON THE NINTH to undergrads last week. Thankfully, they seemed to like it! I'm looking forward to hearing their thoughts on bodies & spaces as we get to the "mystery" section of the novel.

I picked up this collection after reading Thomas Ha’s wonderful “window boy” last year. I’m only partway through reading the collection but can confirm that the first three stories are bangers. Ha has a knack for weird, surreal, and psychologically complex storytelling.
Friends! @thomasha.bsky.social's Uncertain Sons and Other Stories is 3-months old today. Time flies. Please consider grabbing a copy of this stellar debut. Thanks to all who have bought a copy. Really appreciate it.
