Susan Bernofsky New Directions #62. LESSER RUINS by Mark Haber. Haber's best; a contemporary writer who is only getting stronger with each new output. Lost for words in the minutes following completion. Will come back with more to say once I've sat on it for awhile. That's a hell of a bookend to the year.

"So what, in the face of horror, are we supposed to do? The answer Haber’s novels would prefer is art, but art is never exactly an answer." For MTC Ryan Lackey reviews LESSER RUINS, the redeeming power of mediocrity & Haber's deeply weird, obsessive men. mid-theory.com/2025/02/10/uto…

great piece by Dan Sinykin. also close reading is p much the crux of every workshopburi workshop -- not at all a skill that was taught to indians in CBSE, unless you studied the humanities at the +2 and college-level in my experience defector.com/close-reading-…

Harvard has officially revoked tenure from Francesca Gino, whose splashy work in behavioral science relied on data manipulation. As maybe: leif weatherby explained last month, the field stands on a weak foundation—it’s bullshit all the way down. thebaffler.com/latest/fashion…

Annoying that the humanities have the bus driven over them again and again for "lack of rigor" when there are entire social science fields that are filled with hucksters, fraudsters, data manipulators, and in the *best* case scenarios merely produce studies that don't replicate.

We need some better quick explainers and short videos/animations on why basic research is so important and how to provision ecologies for this work.

quite curious how the only men I know who don’t “feel welcome” by the literary world are talentless hacks who can’t stop being misogynistic freaks in public

The first story I edited for Joyland Publishing. I think it's very good. Also very smart and very funny. Sarah is doing something special here, I hope you give it a read :)

The idea that reconciliation is separate from the appropriations process is no longer accurate. Dems used the ARP and IRA to provide over a trillion in spending, and the current bill also has hundreds of billions in defense and DHS appropriations. For more see:

Someone told me today that a book published on April 29, 2025—that’s twenty-twenty-five—the CURRENT YEAR, in other words—less than one month prior to the current date of the current day!—was too stale to be reviewed.

Reading my first Malamud… love these 50s guys. Every book is like “the second I saw her I knew I had to have her. You couldn’t believe the figure on her. But she had the depression. Spells so bad she’d crash the car if you didn’t keep an eye on her. And I had baseball to play.”
