still so cool to me, that I got to sneak in at the very-very end of the mass market era. this edition's the last Columbian mammoth, trumpeting out in the storm, telling the world it's still there, and that, when that world comes for it, it'll be standing there waiting.
@sgj.bsky.social re-stock! They didnt even make it onto the shelf before we sold one of each.

We were also just informed by our rep at Simon & Schuster that the mass market paperback of The Only Good Indians is out of print now, so grab one while you can.

"Scorsese Misses the Mark Again as Director of Taxi Driver"

50 years ago this movie debuted at the Coronet, a single theater on the east side of Manhattan.

This was one of the more amusing reviews. But there are more ...

Just finished a tremendous interview/discussion with @sgj.bsky.social for @skiffyandfanty.com with Dandan the Transient. Weren't able to make this a live one, but look for the #podcast and YouTube video to drop soon! This gives you time to get/read NIGHT OF THE MANNEQUINS if you haven't yet.

I just read @sgj.bsky.social Mapping the Interior and I feel like anything I say will tell you too much, so here is my review.

This is a great story about a boy that misses his dad.

man, was, last night, at the wrong link for my interview and was also there at the wrong time, and then had to jump into ANOTHER interview at also the wrong time. then, for this morning's zoom, I forgot about time zones. can't imagine how it's actually fun, having me be part of the schedule . . .

It can be told!

I’ve read the screenplay; it’s wild and I love it. I can’t wait to see Franz and Fiala put it all on screen.

Catered the Stegner workshop here at Stanford with Chipotle yesterday! Good time was had/eaten by all (also, was someone’s birthday, so: cake for dessert! very good cake). Kind of suspect, now, that ALL workshops should feature some Chipotle.

Ok so I finished the Indian Lake trilogy by @sgj.bsky.social and it rocked me. Completely wrecked me and I will be obsessed with it forever. Now I have to read everything but I’m afraid because it’s such a high bar! I have Buffalo Hunter, Teenage Slasher, and Good Indian. What should I read next??

Things I know about Buffalo Hunter Hunter by @sgj.bsky.social based on listening to my wife listen to the audio book.

"Oh god."

"Oh god" (more emphatically)

Some giggling.

"Oh. OH."

A soft whimper.

"no."

I am looking forward to finishing my own book(s) and getting to read it! Bodes well.

I see some Final Destination shenanigans . . .
Nothing creepy about this at all, just a truck bed full of dismembered mannequins . . . That’s quite the haul.
