NOW A LIST
-Bright, windy, sunny day in the country; fields the color of lion fur. Cats in windows basking in the sun, eyes shut.
-Been up early working on the fourth book of the quartet that began with After Tonight, Everything Will Be Different. The new book (the quartet’s third) comes out “officially” in two days. I’m hoping to do two tours for it. Summer (midwest, east coast, south) and fall (west coast, southwest). I want very badly to do good things in 2024.
-Read a review of my new one by Laurence Lillvik. Cameos by Kevin Sampsell and Proust.
-Liked this from Lora concerning genocide.
-Sorry if I’ve not answered an email or a message from you. Getting many at the moment about the new book. It’s a lot. I mean I’m glad, but also whoa. Compounding that, I’m trying to not be online as much as possible. Only myself to blame here.
-I want to exist in the same spirit of when David and Cassie Berman sing “We’re coming out of the black patch!/We’re coming out of the pocket!/We’re calling into question/such virtue gone to seed!” in “Strange Victory, Strange Defeat.”
