1/6/2025: Further distraction:
•  In a LitHub round-up of award-winning novels, there's a lukewarm review from me of a book I didn't really like. Funny.
•  But this book ... this book! ... well, you'll see the steam pouring out of my ears. In the Washington Post!
•  This Kirkus nonfiction audio column earned an Insta post from Blondie's Chris Stein: "Strange bedfellows." Also, here's our best of year.
• Oh, Oprah. Thank you for the gift of working for you. This was the gift books column.
•  Having fun contributing to the Boston Globe book section. I loved these Nayantara Roy and Adam Haslett novels, and Christopher Bollen is a trip!
•  Here is the new Weike Wang in the Minnesota Star Tribune.
•  And to bring us home, top literary news of Baltimore, 2024 edition.

1/6/2025: Useful lists from last year:

• Great memoirs, in Oprah Daily
• Most addictive novels, in Oprah Daily
