Book news: I have been working on three books on Shakespeare. This is the first: SHAKESPEARE ON SEX. If you like sex and value liberation, this one's for you. And it's Shakespeare. Many thanks to my wonderful agent @Mark_Gottlieb and publisher @tonylyonspub.

No, you can't publish without Lish. Thus, Bard Books is excited to launch by publishing two new novels by Gordon Lish. Read the story in Publishers Weekly: https://t.co/EHiJxDcaJ3 Two killer books by Captain Fiction. As Groucho Marx would say: It's the only way to publish.

If I was famed editor Gordon Lish, I would have used the catchphrase "You can't spell 'publish' without 'Lish.'" It would have been part of my branding strategy, feel like he really blew it tbh

The single greatest short story written in English is either Hemingway’s “The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber” or James Joyce’s “The Dead.” Other contenders in this weight division: O’Connor’s “A Good Man is Hard to Find” & Melville’s “Bartleby, the Scrivener.”

Virginia Woolf and The Beatles. Each did all there was to do in their art in about 7 years.

Today, 83 years ago, Virginia Woolf drowned. 22 days went by before her body was recovered from the River Ouse. It’s always good to remember her incredible literary output, particularly during a 7-year period. I’m convinced that I will never read a better novel than The Waves.

When Covid hit, our distributor notified us it had destroyed all of the new LitMag #3 that had just shipped. Then it notified us half were saved. Some of those saved copies got to open stores. Good to see LitMag #3 finally on a Barnes & Noble shelf.
