For @nytimesbooks, I reviewed four nonfiction books that explore the geographic—and personal—boundaries of travel (whether by bike, car or other means), and how the convergence brings new understandings of place, home, identity & one’s own horizon line. nytimes.com/2022/12/02/books…

Wheels, Waves and Wings (Published 2022)

Books about exploring the world by bike, by car, by boat or by plane, passport in hand.

Congrats on her 🌟 review at @KirkusReviews: A NEW RACE OF MEN FROM HEAVEN by @ChaitaliSen2020! "Almost every story here is a study in restraint, Sen’s considerable talent evident in her ability to wring meaning from the smallest details." kirkusreviews.com/book-revie…

A NEW RACE OF MEN FROM HEAVEN | Kirkus Reviews

A poignant collection of stories about people in search of connection.

This essay on my fertility struggles is the most personal thing I've ever published. I'm so grateful to my editor, @Jhodie_W, for her support! We've only scratched the surface on all the potential ramifications of overturning #RoeVWade. #IVF #Texas nbcnews.com/think/opinion/wa…

Opinion | I was using IVF to get pregnant. Texas' abortion law made me stop trying.

As abortion bans go into effect, discarding an embryo during the IVF treatment process remains a murky area and puts many families with infertility issues in limbo.

I reviewed LaToya Watkins' debut, PERISH, for @nytimesbooks. The intergenerational novel—set largely in small-town West Texas—animates the contours & scars of trauma, memory & truth. You won't forget these characters—in all of their brokenness & brightness.nytimes.com/2022/08/23/books…

A Family Looks Back on All They’ve Survived (Published 2022)

The death of a matriarch prompts reflection in LaToya Watkins’s debut novel, “Perish.”

“It isn’t necessary for a visitor to bring anything to “City” except an open mind. Its opening arrives as a young generation increasingly seems to value experiences over money and possessions. So it’s late, but on time. I suspect it will make a beautiful ruin someday.”

If anyone tries to tell you Russian literature is only dead guys with beards, point them in the direction of @DeepVellum. New galleys by Alisa Ganieva & Alla Gorbunova, only missing the forthcoming Petrushevskaya galley for the 21st century trinity.

"Possum Kingdom Lake has been a great teacher to me over the years, imparting lessons on resilience, growth, and adaptation." Read @DaliaAzim's wonderful essay in @TexasHighways — and how place can persist amid unimaginable tragedy and memories. texashighways.com/culture/pe…

Thank you to @ShannonPerriii and @The_Rumpus for talking to me about Country of Origin therumpus.net/2022/06/27/wit…

Accessing the Sublime: An Interview with Dalia Azim - The Rumpus

Creating a site-specific installation in the middle of nowhere is somewhat akin to writing a novel—who knows if an audience will ever find their way to it.
