if you're in DC, this is Mon! I'm really looking forward to talking with Rachel Cohen aka Rachel Cohen

I'm a firm believer in the free market & would sooner listen to Baby Shark on repeat than another polemic from Robert Reich, but I have to say Help Wanted by Adelle Waldman is right up there with Frank Norris, Theodore Dreiser, Upton Sinclair & Steinbeck.

If you’re in DC Monday come join at ⁦Politics and Prose⁩! I’ll be talking with Adelle Waldman about her really great new book politics-prose.com/adelle-waldman

For reasons I can't really explain, the audiobook of 'Help Wanted' wasn't ready when the book was released last month... But it's finally available. And the narrator, Amanda Ronconi, is wonderful, people keep telling me. libro.fm/audiobooks/979… or amazon.com/Audible-Help-W…

I loved talking to mike sacks for Doing It Podcast. We talked abt retail (he worked at a record store for many years), capitalism, the 90s, income inequality & what seems wrong with now (a lot). I'd listen if it weren't too cringy to hear my own voice. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/con…

I'm going to be in Toronto on Tues. to talk about 'Help Wanted' w/Sheila Heti! I'm so looking forward to this. Event is at Type Books. Details below. (I'm driving from NY & I'm weirdly nervous that i'm going to forget my passport & get turned away. How do other people remember?)

yes, it is a huge deal and millions who could benefit from income-driven student loan repayment plan don't because they don't know about it, and the media seems determined to pretend it doesn't exist.

The best books of 2024 — this year’s new must-reads include Kaveh Akbar’s ‘Martyr!’; ‘Help Wanted,’ by Adelle Waldman; and ‘The Freaks Came Out to Write.’ trib.al/Che6IP6

If you're in the Boston area, I'm going to be talking about my novel 'Help Wanted' on Tues. in Newtonville Books w/the awesome Claire Hughes Johnson. If you're around, it should be a good convo abt the book plus retail plus work plus late capitalism. newtonvillebooks.com/event/adelle-w…

there's a chapter in Help Wanted by Adelle Waldman that explains how amazon killed bricks and mortar stores so well that i want to print the entire thing off in A2 and frame it behind the counter at work 👏🏻

My review of Adelle Waldman's Help Wanted, it's worth your time goodreads.com/review/show/63…

Because today is Help Wanted's pub day in the U.K., I am reposting this review. I really appreciate the political-social-historical context in which it places the book--to me, this is central, the reason I wrote it at all.

'Help Wanted' is out in the UK today!

The next time you go to Target or Costco, ⁦Adelle Waldman’s⁩ new novel, HELP WANTED will give you something to think about. Here’s my review from Bookreporter. ⁦W. W. Norton & Company⁩ bookreporter.com/reviews/help-w…

I loved talking to Brad.

To my delight, this review makes the Potterstown/Pottersville connection. (Matt Weiland & Evan Hughes, you will appreciate.) But more importantly, aside from being generous to the book, it's brilliantly written & covers so much, so elegantly. theguardian.com/books/2024/mar…
