@unpaginated I give credit where it's due. Tough Poets Press is POD but when I order something it feels like a real book for once. You know, with the text actually justified correctly.

@TheLuisPanini @ToughPoets @ToughPoets is such a great small publisher. We need more of these small presses in this age of publishing houses consolidating and moving aggressively to the banal center.

Today, in the mail, a signed copy of Alexander Theroux’s latest: American Candy, which includes the piece that was published in the October 1975 issue of Esquire magazine. Can’t thank enough @ToughPoets for putting out this work. Be sure to peruse through their amazing catalog.

From the BQE she caught the holy hell of it, the way smoke was streaming from burning steel. It was cinema, bad fiction, a plot point dreamed up as too ridiculous for art and discarded somewhere else.

I was glad to see my new novel, GLASS CENTURY, shouted out by @alexskopic here. It's a grand book about New York and America and you should read it. https://t.co/PKHm1Rc5pF

In Compact magazine, Jacob Savage complains that the “white male writer” is becoming an endangered species. But that’s a lazy, self-absorbed narrative that obscures the real threats to literature...
