Ghosts

I am truly horrible at updating this website with new blog posts…

The year is almost over, and since my last dispatch, I have two more publications to share. Up first is a story about a troubled marriage, a WWII typhoon, and a ghost trapped in a wall. It’s called “The Wherewithal,” and the generous folks at the amazing Monkeybicycle gave it a home.

Second, I wrote a review of Julián Herbert’s debut novel, Tomb Song, for Kenyon Review Online. The novel is fascinating, chronicling the thoughts of Herbert (or, at least, a slightly fictionalized version of Herbert) as he sits at his ailing mother’s bedside. I highly recommend the book for lovers of literary fiction and translations.

That’s all to report. See you next year, friends.

Stuff and Things

Two newish reviews are out in the world. At Kenyon Review Online, I wrote about Marcy Dermansky’s novel, The Red Car, and Numéro Cinq has my thoughts on Rodrigo Fresán’s The Invented Part. Both books are wild in their own ways.

That is all.

Updates! (Updated!)

Three recent book reviews have surfaced. Behold:

All three are great reads, if you’re looking for something to read. If you’re not, they’re still great reads.

(Update 5/20: I also had the pleasure to chat with Courtney Maum about her new novel, Touch, for The Millions. This was our second published conversation. I first got to know Courtney when I interviewed her in 2014 for Publishers Weekly.)

Onward…
