When I started writing to Palestinian prisoners, I shared Bhanu Kapil’s 12 questions from The Vertical Interrogation of Strangers. Written after Kapil, these are the questions I wrote in my most recent letter. I invite you to write a letter with your own questions (1/ )

Meeting Steve Albini and working with him changed the course of my life. He taught me so much about music, and life. Steve was a great friend - wise, kind and generous. I am so grateful.
My thoughts are with him and his family and friends as we suffer his loss.

An ad for Amethyst Press from 1989. Founded by gay porn impresario Stan Leventhal, Amethyst published Dennis Cooper, Bo Huston, Steve Abbott, Kevin Killian, and others. Books were delivered in plain wrappers, like smut, which the best literature is.

You want a novel that reads like binge TV? I want a novel that reads like a demonic 16-year old ingénue’s first attempt at a stream of consciousness interior monologue, thrice processed through a paper shredder and subsequently combined with chia seeds and crushed quartz
