Thanks, David! And that's one of my favorite covers.

I *still" get Lindsey Graham mixed up with Lindsey Nelson.

Pretty cool that today's Times Flashback references a plot element from "Transcription."

Right. When I was writing the novel, I didn’t foresee another term, and wasn’t trying to be predictive at all. I was trying to dramatize how opposing media narratives could destroy a country and even our common sense of reality.

Thanks for reading the novel and for making the connection. Unfortunately, some of the book's plot elements are more on-the-nose than I would have hoped.

Is that a Sheed essay? Did Coover borrow the title from him?

I immediately think of the guy on the left when I see a reference to next German chancellor.

Do we know if there were actually any Ukrainian drones in the area?

Thanks, Steve, as always, for your invaluable reporting. I wondered if these stories about the kids’ costumes are meant to make fun of parents who are overreacting to the government’s Russian-values campaign. The illustrations seem comic. Would the subtext be that the campaign is not so extreme?

Colavito was later a coach for the Royals, and got himself ejected during the pine-tar game. He tried to take George Brett’s bat away before the umpires could inspect it.

Colorful NYT obit notes Colavito was on either end of two bad trades. First, in 1960. Cleveland traded him in his power-hitting prime for Harvey Kuenn, a singles hitter. Then, five years later, as Colavito’s hitting declined, they traded to get him back, giving up Tommy John and Tommie Agee.

Dead at 91, the great Rocky Colavito, no relation to the olive oil, though I always hoped he was.
