There was a fire above Lucy Yu - which means it won’t be operational for 1 yr due to damage. This is devastating. Anyone who knows the bookstore - the first AAPI woman-run bookstore in the country knows it’s a beacon to us all. Pls consider donating. gofundme.com/f/yu-me-books-…

I wrote about mythology and literature, and how much you "need" to know before starting a writing project open.substack.com/pub/mauracheek…

Mobility is out today! I tried to write a novel about how oil moves in the world and how one particular person moves with it. It was a humbling, confounding, exhilarating experience. I'm so grateful to everyone who has supported this book at every stage. bookshop.org/p/books/mobili…

If you missed last night's knockout event with R. Eric Thomas and his new book Congratulations, the Best Is Over!: Essays, no worries! Head on over to our YouTube channel to catch his whole talk: tinyurl.com/mr25wbe4

SHE’S HERE! And she’s a beaut! I’ve now held a copy of CITY OF LAUGHTER in my hands and I think I might be levitating. 😍

HEY so my debut novel comes out in SIX WEEKS. My feelings about it are truly only ALL-CAPS feelings. A reminder that preorders of the book really, really help. Here's where you can get mine. I promise she has a good story for you. groveatlantic.com/book/city-of-l…
