The Paris Review has published an excerpt from my forthcoming memoir, Molly; this section in particular taken from the opening which describes my experience of the day she died. I had to deliberate whether I wanted this online and I decided I did. Please read with care.
“I tried to take a knee and instead fell on all fours, no longer screaming but just wailing, for her, for Mom, for God … as meanwhile the white-hot silent sun above us burned, an open all-unseeing eye.”

I don't even know how to describe this #storyoftheday. It's Britneyana, it's über-reality, it's pop culture as a literary form. Just read it! 'Never Looked Better' by @lindsaydevon wordwestrevue.co/items/never… via @wordwestrevue

“She’s looking in the mirror. On your good days, you imagine she sees bags under her eyes, puffy cheeks from those pills you’ve read about, and those pink drinks you can’t afford…”

Really enjoyed getting to talk with Dashiel about CS, memory, dream narrative, meaning, & more as it relates to his excellent debut novel, The Deer, and my novel Aannex. With many thanks to Bomb and Raluca
"Every sentence is a trap, with a false floor that connects to other systems that cannot be described, must just be felt and/or intuited."
@blakebutler & @Dashiel_Carrera, two writers with backgrounds in CS, discuss the influence of coding on their prose.
