The wonderful thing about publishing books in November is that you might simultaneously find out that a book has been named a @KirkusReviews Best Nonfiction Book of the Year, which is to say: WASHITA LOVE CHILD is a Kirkus Best Nonfiction Book of the Year!
"A vivid, well-rounded portrait of an overlooked major talent." Starred @KirkusReviews for WASHITA LOVE CHILD!

the word i keep using to describe this novel is “refreshing”—the fizzy feeling of having a crush with intelligence and wit to match. i’m so excited to work with @naomielegant on her smart, sensitive debut, and to have a book with the brilliant @IwalaniKim 🍃🐭🍏
I am so happy to share that my debut novel, GINGKO SEASON, will be published by @wwnorton in 2025!!!

Technically, "After Sappho" is a work of fiction, though its attention to historical and memoiristic detail is more suggestive of biography, @Lily_H_Smith argues. https://t.co/u0PoM3Tr6k

Selby Wynn Schwartz’s After Sappho is a unique work of fiction that resembles a group biography on the travails of 20th-century queer feminist artists.

Hey @elonmusk, please help me understand why this tweet needs a sensitive content warning. Are you afraid of scaring off whatever Twitter users remain with nude statues, or are you just not a fan of lesbians? Thanks!

Read CRC alum Ben Barzilai’s (@BarzNearMe) brilliant article on battle rap in @nytimes! https://t.co/3t35QdO3PF
nytimes.com
Battle rap is an art form and a sport, as well as an industry that has been slowly growing over the last decade. While there are proving grounds all over the country, New York is its epicenter.
