I don't think I've ever read anything even one-quarter as wise on the topic of Bob as this article by Edward Docx celebrating Dylan's impending 80th birthday. theguardian.com/music/2021/may…

Because the academic year is in full swing, and we need to live vicariously through these characters. lithub.com/the-60-best-ca…

I just might possibly have a slightly ulterior motive for posting this TRULY INSIGHTFUL list from Literary Hub! #darkacademia lithub.com/the-60-best-ca…

My latest Times Union food article, New Paltz's new piano bar/restaurant The Lemon Squeeze. One of the owners is the TV exec behind "Mad Men". I got to interview him and his wife about TV and their new venture. Oh, and the food is tremendous. timesunion.com/hudsonvalley/f…

Immense thanks to Peter Savodnik of The Free Press for singling out my novel "The Rabbit Club" for summer reading vibes. Needless to say "Peter" is the name of my all-time favorite literary rabbit.

"...The Rabbit Club is a playlist in its own right — paying tribute to the '90s Britpop my young students listen to, as well as the '70s rock produced by Gel McCain." Christopher J Yates shared a playlist for his novel The Rabbit Club at David Gutowski largeheartedboy.com/2025/07/21/chr…

Dark academia’s future is bright. More publishers are pushing out books and other entertainment in this genre. My gamble paid off—a claim not all the characters in my books can make, writes Christopher J Yates on.wsj.com/4kYgeX2

Article in today's The Wall Street Journal about my blind stumble into a genre that hadn't been hashtagged when I wrote my debut novel. Thanks Wall Street Journal Opinion for letting me appear in print beneath the incomparable Peggy Noonan bit.ly/40EQwzv

Coffin-sized showers, MDF furniture, and relentless Soviet-style JCR meetings steered by the spottiest and most insufferable people you’re ever likely to meet. This is the real Oxford, writes Poppy Sowerby 👇buff.ly/0AbySb1

Thanks The Times and The Sunday Times for declaring me hot. It's the first time I've ever been called hot. (OK, it's arguably only my novel, THE RABBIT CLUB, which has turned red hot at the beginning of its UK pub week.) Also, I think I've beaten bananas. Take that bananas! Or is it a tie?

One of my most thoroughly enjoyable interviews ever for LEAVE YOUR MARK by Aliza Licht with ALIZA LICHT in which we talk cult hits, plot twists, writing advice, rejection, real-life Oxford secret societies, enjoying being at your writing desk... and so much more bit.ly/4fAephC
