I meant to say this a bit ago, but I don't plan to be checking this site too regularly going forward. If you like, find me at vjscarpa on IG / vjscarpa @ gmail.

I'm not really on here anymore, but I do feel a responsibility to share this terrific piece in @BookPostUSA by no less a genius than Kathryn Davis on Joy's "Chicken Hill," which is one of my favourites of her newer stories.

@marykateos omg that’s like a dream job! I listened almost exclusively to one song on a loop, but I’m going to text it to you because I’m a little embarrassed by it 😂

It’s been a long while since a new-to-me book with which I have no prior association has brought me to tears, but weepy to report that Emily Ruskovich’s 2017 novel Idaho is the most recent to do so. I somehow missed it when it came out, and I definitely recommend if you did, too.

I feel like we should all leave this site before it makes us even meaner, dumber, and more annoying. That said, I will probably stay.

@grnpointer One of my favourite books to revisit, too, because I’m reminded anew by her dialogue of the possible uses of humour beyond mere narrative relief.

experienced a transition on Spotify this morning that I thought really exemplified my very specific taste in music when Dolly Parton finished “Harper Valley PTA” and Marvin Gaye began “Inner City Blues”
