I swear, there's a chunk of Bluesky who would blame Unferth for the rise of William the Conqueror.
It's so damn dispiriting.

Vacation by Deb Olin Unferth. I first read this book when I was 22, and it opened up my mind to what you can really do with writing. This was one of the original touchstones for Night Vale when we started. Still so weird and good.

Vacation by Deb Olin Unferth is a book that made me think "oh, I had no idea you could do this with writing" and that realization led to my entire career
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

Rap beef & battles are not a new phenomenon; in the 1200s, the Norse, Anglo-Saxon, Irish & Scot warrior cultures had ritual boasting & insult battles, often in rhyme, called flyting, in front of cheering (or jeering) crowds.
In Beowulf, there is a boast battle between Beowulf & Unferth.

In short fiction from Deb Olin Unferth, one woman pursues eternal youth, or some facsimile thereof. But all that beauty comes at a cost, and there are worse things than cellular disintegration.

Deb Olin Unferth has a short story, 'Granted'.
Two historians are given a grant to visit a country. One condition: they must spend all the money before being allowed to return.
You guessed it, they can't finish spending the money.
If you've ever applied for a grant, you'll know this is fantasy.
