Currently reading The Details, part of my Scandinavian literature reading project. Next up: Stig Dagerman’s books and Wretchedness

On the history of conversion therapy, the fertility of God, trans childhood, Joseph Nicolosi, Anna Freud, Gender Without Identity, and demented post-nut clarity. At one of my favorite magazines Parapraxis. This one is really important to me.

Loved this interview with Esther Kinsky

“Nothing is random in the assembly of fragments, nothing is interchangeable.”

very cool to see Jenny Erpenbeck's KAIROS on the Booker shortlist!

KAIROS has been shortlisted for the International Booker Prize! Huge congratulations to Jenny Erpenbeck and translator Michael Hofmann.

I know there is Dayswork by Chris Bachelder & Jennifer Habel and Diego Garcia by Natasha Soobramanien & Luke Williams (and a larger number of theoretical-critical books that are cowritten).

Are there other cowritten novels you'd particularly recommend?

So happy to see Kairos on the shortlist!

Love this piece by Scott Schomburg, on Joseph Mitchell's collection of detritus and architectural fragments:
'Perhaps if Mitchell could bring the past home, in pieces, he could continue his pursuit of a deeper world; the objects could give him a future.'
