Mickey 7 by Edward Ashton is witty & propulsive sci-fi, uniquely weird and a whole lot of fun. Bong Joon-ho is already making it into a movie—an incredible match of filmmaker with novel. Terrific summer read.

Thanks Jordan! So great to see ALL OUR WRONG TODAYS on the staff picks wall at Indigo in Vancouver—Granville & Broadway.

OK signed a bunch of copies—Indigo Granville & Broadway in Vancouver!

This is the best thing to ever come out of changing the movie’s title: boxd.it/969iM

Never made it to the UK for the paperback of ALL OUR WRONG TODAYS, so the signed copies now at Waterstones Piccadilly are, I believe, the only ones in the British Isles!

Well, apparently I was in the UK in 2018 and signed a bunch of paperbacks so this is a filthy lie. But this is the first time… since the last time.

A terrible loss, Ron Cephas Jones was a massive talent who made every moment of his work on This Is Us (and much other work) gorgeously alive.

Such a treat to sign copies of All Our Wrong Todays at Shakespeare & Company in Paris.

Wrote a bit about my friend and colleague, the great Ron Cephas Jones.

LAST NIGHT is an all-timer—one of the movies that made me want to write movies.

Question: I own land & want to build a house on it, so I go to a construction site to steal a brick & go to another site to steal wood & another to steal pipes & I keep going until I have enough to build the house. It’s my land but the material is stolen… so who owns the house?

I still think about how I read Adrian McKinty’s novel THE CHAIN by flashlight during a power outage and after that it might be impossible for any other book to freak me out so much.

Sometimes being a writer means finding out a pirated copy of your novel was used to train AI. But it shouldn’t.

Saw THE LEHMAN TRILOGY last night, Philip Akin directing for Canadian Stage. Watching the trio of actors play so many characters while hopping around the fabulous vertical set like billy goats was extraordinary. Toronto theatre is firing out of the pandemic like a cannon.

In memory of the immensely talented director and lovely human being Charles Officer—if you can help out his family this holiday season, please do so: gofund.me/ff2963f6

RIP the great Tom Wilkinson. I got to work with him on a movie I wrote called The Samaritan. An absolute pro, he asked razor-sharp questions about the character, shared wonderful anecdotes, and elevated every second onscreen. I only wish I’d had the chance to do it again.

Nice to see The F Word (aka What If) on this list: rogerebert.com/features/9-und…

Nice to see The F Word (aka What If) on this other list too: tomsguide.com/entertainment/…

This is the most deeply I’ve related to an Adam Driver character if you really care.
