Frantic Efforts to Avoid Abandonment, Real or Imagined

I followed him onto the subway platform. I followed him on every platform. I told him I would die without him. I died. That was the worst thing. No, coming back was the worst thing. Haunting him.

@bubblesdepot on FAIL SONS: "I wanted to write a book that reflected what I see as central issue of the Millennial midlife crisis: not desire to escape from a bourgeois existence, but realization that, at 40, you still haven’t achieved it!" countercraft.substack.com/p/… @soho_press

My friend Adam Wilson has written a new novel, FAIL SONS, that is extremely funny, thoughtful, charming, well-crafted, relevant, and many other qualities you hope to find in the genre of "contemporary novels I have chosen to read" — it's out next week, and should be on your radar

last year i went thru the worst break up of my adult life so i did what any normal person would do and drive across the country alone. along the way i asked a dozen teenage girls what they thought about love. i wrote about it for @GrantaMag granta.com/girls-sophie-kemp…

Girls | Sophie Kemp | Granta

‘I was alone driving from the East Coast of Florida to Joshua Tree, in California. That was a normal thing to do after a breakup.’

Thrilled to have a short story in the new @mcsweeneys. It’s about an angel in an afterlife that’s been abandoned by God.
