You cannot understand how a piece of writing works—structurally, spatially, temporally, linguistically—by reading on your phone (or on a laptop). You can’t see patterns, how one sentence or section relates to another. It’s a disaster for students to learn this way.

Lee Clay Johnson’s second novel, BLOODLINE, is very, very good. Sharply-drawn characters, spectacular prose—brutal and beautiful. Out April 21st.

Excited to host @egabbert next month for a Master Lecture titled “ Time & the Essay.”
My lecture "30 Ideas About Writing Nonfiction" is up at @thecreativeindp today. Includes thoughts about structure, scale, tone, authority, titles, surprise, and what the word "interesting" means (it's one of my favorite words):

“Baby Driver,” originally published by St. Martin’s Press, made barely a ripple back in 1981…Its republication now feels like a gift — possibly this year’s most important literary salvage mission.” —@DwightGarner on Jan Kerouac’s Baby Driver ✨

“When I sit down to work, I’m just trying to get one little thing right. So I suppose in that regard I do consider it a practice. But I don’t have more far-reaching goals in mind at all. Just, let’s get this little thing right.” —Deborah Eisenberg
