Goddamn. Goodbye, Nick Tosches. One of the greats. “Life is a racket. Writing is a racket. Sincerity is a racket. Everything’s a racket.”

Picked up this beast thinking it wouldn’t be my thing, but I’m totally caught up in it. Reminding me of the first time I read THE BATTLEFIELD WHERE THE MOON SAYS I LOVE YOU.

Found the Franka Potente shrine I’ve been looking for.

A stone cold masterpiece from @lee3durkee. A Mississippi Buddhist cabbie who loves Bill Hicks, Shakespeare, and UFOs tries not to be destroyed by the act of helping people get where they need to be. Haven’t felt this way since reading JESUS’ SON and BRINGING OUT THE DEAD for the first time. Raw, revelatory, honest, full of kindness and anger and sadness and compassion. Out 3/3/20 from @tin_house. Preorder it now.

I'm honored and excited to be the Kirk Writer in Residence at Agnes Scott College in Decatur for the next eleven days. Big thanks to the wonderful Nicole Stamant for inviting me. I've got a reading tonight--Hope to see some Atlanta pals there. Some other places I'll be: -(hopefully) seeing Lee Bains III & The Glory Fires at the Earl on Friday -Marc Maron at the Tabernacle on Saturday -Robbie Fulks & Linda Gail Lewis at Eddie's Attic, 10/24 -Jake Fussell & Joan Shelley at Eddie's Attic, 10/26

Finally picked up the Olive Signature Blu-ray of JOHNNY GUITAR, one of my all-time favorite films. This thing’s stacked with great extras.

Just read this with Eamon & Connolly. It’s incredible. Surrealism for beginners.

My buddy Alex Shakespeare interviewed me for Fiction Writers Review.
And a reminder: The great cover art for Gravesend, which I’ve posted a few times already, is by Matthew Revert – He also a new book out, Basal Ganglia, and it’s damn beautiful.
