To say this blew my mind when I heard this was happening is an understatement. Thank you to everyone who supported me and this project along the way. It was truly a journey! xoxo nytimes.com/2025/06/02/books…

Tom Comitta’s The Nature Book (Coffee House Press, 2023) is an explicitly “post-human novel.” Got many rave reviews, year-end lists, plus blurbs from Jonathan Lethem and Kathryn Scanlan.
Not to mention the entire publishing project of @LNmagazine !

“PATCHWORK is precisely what it sounds like: a densely woven quilt of a book composed entirely of other author’s sentences.”
Eric Bies reviews the book by @TomComitta (from #coffeehousepress).

Scandal aside, the satirical strategy employed in this post reminds me of nothing so much as PATCHWORK, a novel composed entirely of other authors' sentences, by ("by"?) @TomComitta, which opens like this (and can be read about here: ocreviewofbooks.org/2025/08/…):
I have the leaked first chapter of Jason Arday's memoir, and it is something:
"Call me Ishmael! I was born in the best of times, and the worst of times. It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen. Our home was a hole in the ground where there lived a hobbit. And he was my Father being a Foreigner of Bremen, who settled first at Hull. Because now was the winter of our discontent..."

Tfw you start writing a short story from the perspective of the assistant fired from Christian Marclay’s The Clock for sourcing too many horror films & then suddenly @LACMA is screening it again…

20 years ago I was a singer-songwriter making Wilco knock offs in my dorm room. 2 months ago I got to meet Jeff Tweedy and ask him everything I could think of about life and artmaking.
Thank you to Ben Samuel and @BOMBmagazine for making it happen!
