Blake Butler’s “Molly” is the best book I read this year. It is so essential to everything I believe writing can be that I wish I could be reading it constantly. If only I were reading it now. https://t.co/IAToD0viIp

Only now, reading sections from @blakebutler's (very good) MOLLY, we realized we published 3 of Molly Brodak's poems (in 6.1 and 20.5, probably right around the time of her death). Beautiful poems that feel even more charged with meaning in this sad context. Here they are.

You might find the very idea of this book objectionable. Just read it.

Thank you to @saderotica for speaking with me in @spectator about my intent for writing "Molly" as well as some thoughts on early crosstalk. Please read.
for the spectator, i spoke with blake butler about his new memoir, Molly, and some of the response it’s received on its publication https://t.co/3C30OavWNE

I recommend reading my book before forming an opinion of it from the tabloid media’s atrocious butchering of it based on web ephemera over which I have no control

I don't know @blakebutler nor Molly, and wading into the online piranha pool is a thing I mostly quit doing way back. But deep into this book I can say the prose, which seems chiseled from oblivion, is wondrously saturated with what he felt for her, and full of everybody's pain.

"We joined hands around a card table in the dark. I was scared already. 'This is stupid,' Kathleen said." Murders! A seance! Love Randy Osborne's essay in @EssayingDaily this week. Browse the whole #midwessay series when you finish reading it.
On the cover, a man with a shovel kept watch over his shoulder in the woods. His negligee-clad victim sprawled near the deepening hole. “Carole Annette Was Buried Alive!” The #midwessay eye moves again to IL today, featuring Randy Osborne:

I have a long shelf of Lish-edited or -written books. It's taken a while to find this one -- an uncorrected proof, no less. Tight, severe. Deep diggings. Beautiful. #gordonlish Sigh.

Could everyone PLEASE stop sharing this video of Michael Lofthouse? He’s the founder & CEO of Solid8, a tech company based in San Francisco. If it goes viral it could hurt Michael Lofthouse and Solid8, his company. Let’s all be nice to Michael Lofthouse and Solid8.

Why do I keep getting, even now, promos for three or four different formulations of boner drugs?
