Things we do for novel research: today I watched videos of about 30 building demolitions. Wrecking ball, detonations, debris fields…completely fascinating.

Pre-ordered.

Working on historical fiction? Interested in taking the next steps? Consider this weekend workshop! Really looking forward to teaching this in May. AuthorsAtLarge aalauthors.com/historicalfict…

We can’t see the curve of the earth while standing on it--we’re too close, too small, the world is vast, we can’t comprehend its shape without seeing a globe. And we can’t see the arc of a life while living it. For that we need novels.

Could not have foreseen that writing a philosophical novel would lead to spending a few days with a bunch of philosophers in a medieval castle in Italy—a completely wonderful experience, & now am delighted that I get to keep learning from the castle crew & others in these pages.

So…anybody else ever accidentally put an epipen through the wash? I always take it out of the pocket of jacket after I go running, but… 😖Feeling pretty dumb.

Really looking forward to next month's online workshop & the chance to explore the rewards / challenges of historical fiction with an international group! Only two spots left, so if you know anyone who might be interested, please pass this along! aalauthors.com/historicalfict…

Looking forward to reading this! Paul Goldberg

Delighted to see Margaret Cavendish in the spotlight! I learned about her remarkable work while researching for The Weight of Ink. Here's to shining a light on early modern female philosophers! washingtonpost.com/books/2023/06/…

NYC! Go see this film and bring a friend.

Had the good luck to be at the launch yesterday to hear Yael speak about multiverses and motherhood. She was brilliant and funny and thought-provoking, and I know the same will be true of this book. Can't wait to read!

That Trump will be tried for his coup attempt is not a violation of his rights. It is a fulfillment of his rights. It is the grace of the American republic. In other systems, when your coup attempt fails, what follows is not a trial.

So grateful to have this chance to speak about empathy, and the ways fiction can push all of us to make that scary-but-essential leap.

A new book by Kevin Prufer! And a novel, no less! Can't wait.

A fascinating report out from Julia Angwin Alondra Nelson and Proof News about the use of chatbots to get reliable information about elections and voting. The short answer - DON'T! 1/2 proofnews.org/seeking-electi…

The news source we've needed! Grateful for Julia Angwin

🧵A writer's published work should not be yanked from circulation because it sparks public outcry or sharp disagreement. At its best, literature is a bridge, connecting us across differences; writers help guide the rest of us across that bridge. latimes.com/world-nation/s…

So grateful for the chance to join #Artists4Understanding and looking forward to working alongside fellow artists and scholars to combat hate through the arts and humanities.
