Loved talking to KCRW 's Life Examined about borders, migration stories, and how the contemporary nation-state relies upon a mythology of invading outsiders. 'kcrw.com/culture/shows/…

so many chances to see the great R.O. Kwon 권오경 speak about her luminous new book EXHIBIT

had my book launch here and it was glorious sfchronicle.com/food/wine/arti…

Sometimes you reach out to your writer friends for their brilliant editorial insight and sometimes you reach out for insight into whether the mirror you're about to buy is cursed. (Thanks, Ingrid Rojas Contreras 🔮)

RUN DON'T WALK (my enthusiasm is immense but my sleeplessness is catching up to me. With all apologies to the great Laura van den Berg )

This looks excellent and when I'm farther down the road on my novel I will be clamoring for a class with Laura van den Berg . Novelists, walk don't run.

Imagine the energy & passion that might have gone into organizing for the election had Joe Biden & his advisors listened to his base in October instead of funding and enabling genocide to the extent that now the main electoral organizing is telling people not to put his name down

Disturbing how The New York Times chooses to amplify the antisemitism of individual isolated students rather than report how many of the protests are Jewish and are led by Jewish organizations who don’t want a genocide to happen under their name…

So proud of my #NYU students - Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Hindu, Atheist - standing up against genocide. They are fearless, principled, energized.

look at this beauty

got the print edition!!! <3

thank you so much Brian Gresko, Kevin Larimer, Poets & Writers, & Carolyn Fong for this profile what a goddamn dream

I am moved by the integrity of the authors withdrawing from prize lists to protest PEN America's refusal to name the genocide in Gaza and failure to meet their stated aims of protecting free speech and Palestinian writers. Here are their books to buy bookshop.org/wishlists/7166…

This book by R.O. Kwon 권오경 is extraordinary and if you haven't preordered yet you're a fool!

Yesterday Isr*el bombed a foreign embassy, destroyed a hospital leaving behind mangled corpses crushed by bulldozers, and murdered 7 foreign aid workers bringing food to the starving. Yet the US can’t wait to provide more military aid. The everlasting shame. This is a genocide.
