I've got a piece in the new issue of Bending Genres. Grateful to the editors for including it. He’d be in black jeans on his haunches, me with my clipboard and pencil, like a father and a son I suppose. I was getting tired of the near silence of the field. bendinggenres.com/am/

Not to be a twerp, but seems worth noting that you're also from a Spanish speaking country. More Spanish speakers here than in Spain! I think almost 50% of residents of the Bronx speak Spanish at home, current mayor of your hometown gives bilingual speeches. etc.

These pieces really speak to the spirit of commentary and conversation for this series and I'm thrilled to bring them into the world. Also, lots of references to Hurray for the Riff Raff, which I love. If you have a way to let Alynda Segarra know they exist, hmu!

When I pitched a week of intertextual dovetails to @publishedbyjake.bsky.social, I had this exact essay in mind. In fact, this essay has been on my mind for twelve years, and I couldn't be happier to bring it out into the world.

I’m really proud of this piece that I translated by Yosel Cutler, a perfect Yiddish literary figure to run in an “anti literary magazine” like @publishedbyjake.bsky.social !

I finished this in the last hour, and I really enjoyed it. A translation of early 20th century humor with themes that are relevant today. Read it yourself because “the jokes not funny if I explain it to you.” From my friend @mordecaimartin.net in @publishedbyjake.bsky.social
