Over the past year, I've been talking to one of my favorite living artists about love, grief, his band's matchless legacy, & what's next. to say it's been an honor & privilege considerably understates the way I feel. anyway here it is.

7yo: do you think [our rescue dog’s] least favorite thing that ever happened was when someone abandoned him on the side of the highway?

Still a few spots left; my last Great Place Books class until the fall!

On the one hand, 'what is the greatest short story of all time?' is a stupid question—there are so many candidates, so many different styles and approaches, as to render the question meaningless. On the other hand, the answer is 'In the Cemetery Where Al Jolson Is Buried'

My new Great Place Books class starts in a couple weeks! A few spots remain. Join us?

I once told the 7yo my least favorite band is Queen and now whenever he hears a song he doesn’t like he mutters “must be Queen”

'To see itself, then, is just to interact with the world, to move through it. I wish I could experience the world this way.' —excerpted from CASCADE by julia hannafin (@greatplacebooks, April '24)

I never get tired of talking to julia hannafin about their incredible book.

I've always loved when my students watch film adaptations of what we're studying and share their insights in class. Decided to make a new Great Place Books seminar out of it! Join us for lots of close-reading, discussion, and feedback on your own WIP!

Come study FICTION & FILM with me next month Great Place Books. We'll read four excellent stories and watch their adaptations to determine what film reveals about form!
