Misha Rai @misharai.bsky.social · 31/05/2025I have read, twice, Kevin Wilson’s Run for the Hills. Kevin does a thing, that I think is synonymous with brilliant writing, he makes a character think or say a thing that is true for the character, the story they are in, & also for the world at large. In so doing he makes the reader see themselves. 000

Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week. 6051522184

Misha Rai @misharai.bsky.social · 27/02/2025I don’t enjoy listening to my own voice or even watching myself, I am grateful to lend my voice to an organization that’s changed my life, as it has done for countless others. @kenyonreview.bsky.social supports the making of art in its rawest, most honest form. And to do that is radical. 171
Misha Rai @misharai.bsky.social · 09/02/2025Grateful for the opportunities—still profoundly surprised that I get to do this thing I love. Mindful that in undertaking this work, especially now, I also have the opportunity to give back. Excited to soon be part of this community and to stand alongside the very talented A. A. Balaskovits. 020
