For @esquire, I wrote about the hottest new trend in literature: Friendship. https://t.co/TE0zI1vIS9

Once bitterly competitive, the literary world is now bursting with connection and collaboration. But why are authors turning to one another, and how is it changing the writing life?

It’s FINALLY here: pub day for The Border Simulator. This book is in debt to two geniuses: My editor at One World Nicole Counts and Elfriede Jelinek. This book means freedom to me: the freedom to express myself and think freely in my art. 7 years condensed into one book. Enjoy!
