SO GOOD

I’m a writer who reads almost exclusively for pleasure, and what brings me pleasure is rarely a vigorous moral lesson or a novel undertaken with the desire to instruct. I like the capacious and the unruly; the weird; the plotty and its opposite, the entirely vibes-based; the rampant deployment of the semicolon. I like books that spill over, that put out tendrils, that revel in unrepentant maximalism; I like a hot, compelling mess a lot more than I like somebody with their button-down tucked in. This is books, not church.
