I was so happy to get the chance to write about Joanna Pocock's profound examination of America's ailing heartland. One more in my list of proofs that it is publishers like @softskull putting out the most daring and accomplished writing today. https://t.co/l37TcJwhKX

Joanna Pocock’s memoir is about her travels from Detroit to California in 2023, retracing a trip she had taken 17 years earlier.

"Pocock seeks not fortune, success, or survival, but connection, in all senses of the word: for her own sake but also, more urgently, as a balm for America’s pervasive ills to which her bus ride grants her a front-row seat." — @AltaJournal

Hiromi Kawakami continues with a story of love and life lessons told through a Japanese woman’s dreams. The historical settings blend seamlessly as the character gathers a millennia’s worth of women’s perspectives and comes to expect less of men. @softskull

Happy publication day to Joanna Pocock's GREYHOUND! 🚌 Combining history, reportage, and nature writing with intimate moments of reflection, GREYHOUND tells of the journey from miscarriage to parenthood, and the purpose creativity gives to our lives when we feel purposeless.

I wrote about Sebastian Castillo’s new book “Fresh, Green Life” for @clereviewbooks, about one man’s quixotic journey to the end of the night. @bartlebytaco @softskull
"Rife throughout the novel are men adrift: young men looking for role models to follow and old men at the end of their charade." @hesychasmtbh on Sebastian Castillo's "Fresh, Green Life" https://t.co/K07CsG75h8

"Castillo is such a virtuosic writer, fine-tuning words and sentences to produce an array of potent emotional and intellectual effects. . . . He puts his fellow chroniclers of contemporary masculine panic to shame." — @washingtonpost Read the full review: https://t.co/yS1Bf8pDTa

Happy publication day to CURANDERA by Irenosen Okojie! ✨ Set between seventeenth-century Cape Verde and contemporary London, CURANDERA is a kaleidoscopic story of rebirth and redemption, and a mythic tale of metamorphic recalibrations across time. https://t.co/s8zLG6JBUf
