Another banger from Brittany Menjivar’s column at @littleengines.bsky.social : “And isn’t there something special, something revelatory, even, about the fable’s inherently participatory nature, which Luhrmann’s film so cleverly put its finger?” www.littleengines.pub/p/based-on-i...

I was obsessed with Emily Dickinson in college, and I’ve returned to her poems this week as I struggle with my eyesight after eye surgery. I love how this little poem consistently yields more and more

“Faith” is a fine invention
For Gentlemen who see!
But Microscopes are prudent
In an Emergency!

Also, here’s a copy of “Dracula” Bram Stoker sent to Mark Twain which I took while studying in the latter’s library. Always so strange to think of those two writers crossing paths

I’ll be leaving for my writing residency this Sunday! I’m vvvv excited to have dedicated time to write and not just snippets written down while on my breaks at work, talk-text notes on my commute, and scraping all that I can do in the evenings/weekends before errands

I’m so obsessed with that thing bands do where they start having a conversation with each other while the music plays. Is there a term for that?

Dorothy Allison has died. Just a gutting loss... Her "Bastard Out of Carolina" was transformative for me, the first time I'd seen class bigotry portrayed on the page, and fought against, the way I'd lived it. I wrote this piece in 2017 for the novel's 25th anniversary

newyorker.com

An Essential Novel About Poverty, Bigotry, and Sexual Abuse, Twenty-Five Years Later

“Bastard Out of Carolina” is about the stories that are told about us, and the ones we learn to tell about ourselves.
