"As Hof once told Novak Djokovic (the tennis superstar who believes in the power of the mind to detoxify contaminated water): 'It’s amazing and it’s an amazing story and it’s actually genius.'" Read Lizzy Harding on Wim Hof and his eponymous method: bit.ly/3GHOHXl

Join us next week for a free event with Margo Jefferson and Blair McClendon (Blair)! For the premiere of a new series pairing authors with critics, they will discuss Jefferson’s memoir CONSTRUCTING A NERVOUS SYSTEM, which McClendon reviewed in Bookforum.bit.ly/3mrxiZw

Wrote for Bookforum Magazine about Sam Lipsyte’s latest, a noir novel about east village punks sleuthing around evil landlords in the early 90s. I loved it! bookforum.com/print/2904/sam…

Just a note to say I am enormously proud of the what we did at Bookforum. I was so lucky to work with the editors for more than 10 years as the design director. I know how beloved it was by so many people. My first issue as design director was fall 2011

Getting to work at and write for Bookforum has been a thrill and an education and an honor. Today is awful, and also a reminder of the obvious: the magazine means so much to so many, and it does not belong in the past!

Major thread you guys! Will be ongoing...

Thank god…

This is our last day at Bookforum. Thank you to our writers and readers, and everyone else over the years who made the magazine what it is. Farewell, The Editors

Absolutely in awe of this review by Lisa Borst, which manages to be 100% authoritative and deliriously fun and entertaining at the same time. This should be impossible! But it turns out it isn't. The treatment that Nicholson Baker deserves. bookforum.com/print/3004/nic…

Borst on Baker! Shout it out!

Helen Oyeyemi’s latest is brilliant and frustrating, a novel about shape-shifting texts that changed what I wanted to get out of reading it as I went along—I wrote about it for the new Bookforum Magazine bookforum.com/print/3004/hel…
