Check out this brand new, brilliant story by @clarebeams. Who doesn’t love a horror story set, quite literally, among pickles?

Thank you @TomBeerBooks for this and also for turning me on to @JamesHannaham novel. Sounds so great!
For the new Work Issue of @KirkusReviews, I wrote about new novels by @acruzwriter and @JamesHannaham where the protagonists are job hunting. (Spoiler alert: It ain't easy.)

"There are no words for what Russian Army is doing in Ukraine: in Kharkiv, in Mariupol— this is beyond human languages of description. There are no words for this. Still, the task of poetry is to find words, even when there are no words." -Anna Streminskaya, writing from Odesa

🚨 For @latimes, I wrote about Russian speakers in the U.S. being menaced for their perceived affiliation to Russia. We are not a monolith—many of us are refugees from Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus, and, yes, Russia—and we ache for the people of Ukraine. https://t.co/pJOeZ4TGem

Russian-speaking immigrants to the U.S. are facing backlash, but that does nothing to help those suffering in Ukraine.

I'll be talking about the book on March 30 @whitewhalebks with @IrinaReyn1 @SarahMenkedick @JackieMitchard , Vanessa Hua, and Carin Clevidence. Amazing writers all, and that is just the tip of the iceberg for this collection. https://t.co/LfhkjB6nF7

An astute description of what it means to be an ex-Soviet Jewish immigrant and why not all Russian speakers are actually Russian - from the lovely novel Nesting Dolls by Ukraine-born author @IamAlinaAdams

This novel came out almost exactly three years ago. I was hoping some of its events were in the past and instead it is ever-more horrific now.
