my The New Yorker debut is out today—an essay on Drake's quest for narrative reformation in a post-"Not Like Us" world newyorker.com/culture/the-le…

SKY DADDY is now available for pre-order! it's a novel about a woman named Linda who is obsessed with planes. it's about fate, the death drive, desire, friendship, and it's also loosely inspired by MOBY-DICK. i love this cover designed by Sarah Horgan. coming 4/8/25!!

this is extremely well written 🔗: newyorker.com/culture/the-le… via brady brickner-wood
