Link N Build
More links of a certain kind.
No, I’m not on X or Bluesky anymore. The echo chamber was a long time in the making and I unfortunately am trying to make a living off my writing. So I don’t know what latest discourse is or who’s mad at who. I’m still working on a few big pieces so this remains dormant until a piece ends up getting cut or I have an epiphany. Rarely do I lurk on notes other than to post work. In the meantime, I have a new slew of links.
This is a moving, potent essay on techno, dance, and the night by Aria Aber.
A great essay by my Bookforum editor David O’Neill on Lucy Ives and writing.
Killer profile of Alia Shawkat by Leah Abrams.
LOOSEY is always great. This is a knockout piece by Brendon Holder.
Unsurprisingly, I have underscores, the new Charli XCX, and Hole on repeat. I watched Edward Yang’s Mahjong with some friends—obsessed.
I’ve been revisiting our favorite bitter queen Gary Indiana. I love Resentment and Do Everything in the Dark. I also read The Tunnel by William Gass, a claustrophobic epic about fascism and the Midwest.
And here are some things I’ve written recently:
A short novella for Community Mausoleum. Fiction! Again! First time since Herculine.
