Trump spews poison and we are facing the unthinkable possibility that he could yet again not only evade accountability but also be re-elected? Ugh doesn’t cover it. Among the voices out there that keep me from hopelessness is The.Ink, from Anand Giridharadas

I first acquired #Erasure by Not Percival Everett while an editor at Hyperion in 2001. Now that brilliant author is getting his due. Sometimes recognition takes time.

When I first started at O, I had recently read Once Upon a River by ⁦⁦bonnie jo campbell⁩. Floored. Wow is she amazing—hoping this new book gets all the praise it deserves.

Good night Miami Book Fair you reminded me again how wonderful it is to read and know writers. T.C. Boyle 💖

I worked on a book project with Rosalynn Carter years ago. I got to go to Plains to meet with her. She exuded intelligence, purpose, grace. What an example she and her husband set. A true light.

, Andre Dubus III. Here we go!

Last night I interviewed Abraham Verghese onstage ⁦Miami Book Fair⁩ in front of 500. His lovely words and just utterly charming presence made it a delight for all, including (and especially) me. Thanks ⁦Abraham Verghese⁩ for sharing the stage. time.com/collection/mus…

Heading down to
Miami tomorrow for Miami Book Fair. Tuesday at 8 pm in conversation with Abraham Verghese . Can’t wait!!!

Me and Diana Nyad⁩ a few years ago. I love to swim, but now that I’ve seen the movie…my hero. Her resilience, her utter focus…amazing.
