Gonna blame this sounding like terrible on “parallel distortion”

I went back and forth on this list for way longer than I’d care to admit. Unsure about loading it up with lonely boy favorites from adolescence or leaning on naval gazers that for the most part I’m only pretending to understand, I compulsively revised this for weeks before ripping it all up in a fit of frustration.

Here are ten somewhat arbitrarily selected titles that have moved me and/or informed my worldview, for better or worse:

The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect - Roger Williams
Frisk - Dennis Cooper
The Wind’s Twelve Quarters - Ursula K. Le Guin
Dhalgren - Samuel Delaney
In A Lonely Place - Karl Edward Wagner
Notice - Heather Lewis
Axiomatic - Greg Egan
The Room - Hubert Selby, Jr.
Tales of Times Square - Josh Alan Friedman
Her Smoke Rose Up Forever - Alice B. Sheldon (writing as James Tiptree, Jr.)

Surreal doesn’t begin to sum it up. Much love to Don, Josh, Jorge, Dave, and Geoff for having me up there. Much love to Sean for his whole life and his continuing ubiquitous presence throughout our collective lives.

I haven’t slept much since Friday. Words fail me. Nothing but love.

RIPSPM

Tickets are running super low, so grip them now or forever hold your peace…

As much as I love music, it’s an art form that I’m growing increasingly loathe to talk about. Therefore, I’m forever excited for the moments in an interview where things go off the rails and we can discuss practically anything else.

Eternally grateful to Jimmy Cajoles at the Southwest Review for the opportunity to drone on and on about my two favorite subjects: Books and theology.

You won’t hear about my favorite complex oscillator (Schlappei Three Body) or what it was like to see His Hero Is Gone (they were pretty great), but you will get a bit of insight into how my reading habits influence my work. Should you care about that stuff? Probably not, but it’s fun for me to talk about all the same.

Contemporary fiction legend / my dear pal BR Yeager put together the current issue, and I’m incredibly honored that he made space for me and my big, dumb opinions.

If you feel so inclined, check out the interview at the link in my bio.

Washington, DC: Punks for Palestine benefit weekend begins now. Uniform play tonight at 9:30pm alongside some great friends. Few tickets left. Please come out and help us raise lots and lots of cash.

Much love to Maha for allowing us to be involved. It means a lot.

My man @soy_mouselo took a nice portrait and all, but the star of the show is the city caught reflected in glass behind me. Absolutely crazy shot!

Today marks four years of wedded bliss with the G.O.A.T. ♥️ May God continue to bless me by not letting her realize just how much better she can do.

All Aboard
