This is a hell of a book from @tkendall.bsky.social by way of @whiskeytit.bsky.social
"A novel that embodies the cultural superstructure of the post-irony, post-sincerity, digitized, coopted, climate-catastrophre’d, alienated, and incomprehensible late capitalist dystopia we find ourselves living in."
Zach Gillan reviews psychedelic postcyberpunk noir How I Killed The Universal Man.

And then the first of our essays: the inestimable @megapolisomancy.bsky.social on (what else?) the weird.
What is really striking about this piece is the way in which it advocates for critical reading as productive practice, for "weird reading as a way of thinking critically about the world."

The Brackish Pool: Towards a Critical Practice of Reading Weird Fiction
The ideal reader of the weird has to embrace a kind of wilful suspension of foreknowledge or generic expectation.

It was really awesome to work on this piece and learn about weird fiction from the best person to learn from about weird fiction!
Up now at @lareviewofbooks.bsky.social, I wrote about one of my favorite trilogies, Jeffrey Ford’s The Well-Built City, and what it has to say about living in a society in thrall, the fascist mindset, and the daily work of staying alive.

Like the body was a restraint required to experience the materiality of space and space was like ‘oh fuck your body.’ Or like the body was to life what a bed sheet with cutout holes for eyes and animated by some mournful desire for attention was to the idea of death.
