excellent reminder to subscribe to bookforum subscriptions.bookforum.com

just a reminder that last year Bookforum literally shut down because it couldn't keep going, and now it is back and has given us all the gift of Discourse, so you should (if you have any honor) subscribe to it.

An eclipse one day, everyone talking about Bookforum the next. Best week of the year so far. (Subscribe and then you can read my pan of Kyle Chayka's Filterworld from the previous issue, tho I must admit it's not so giddy a flagellation.)

It's a great day to be a Bookforum subscriber (actually, yesterday was even better bc it landed in my mailbox 😈)

Love this scorcher from Moira Donegan which is both very smart on 'housewife' as a political category and also employs my new favorite term, 'cavewives.'

(How do you write about homemaking without the Victorians? I'm biased, but !!!)

What an excellent review from Lisa Borst. Never smiled so much while reading. Gonna dive back into Nicholson Baker in tribute.

'This is the literature of entropy, the literature of wisdom. Procol Dubio. Sorokin has restored the risk to reading.'

—Joy Williams writing about Vladimir Sorokin's Blue Lard and Red Pyramid, trans. Max Lawton in the latest issue of Bookforum Magazine

Esteemed author Nicholson Baker returns to storytelling with images in his new memoir and art book, Finding a Likeness. Bookforum Magazine writes, 'There’s an invigorating novelty in seeing a master try something new without immediately becoming virtuosic.' bookforum.com/print/3004/nic…
