Now that "Moses and the Doctor" is available everywhere books are sold, here's how you can get a signed copy: Order through Astoria Bookshop (link below), or send me a request for a signed bookplate (my email is in my bio). I'll mail you one free. It's that simple.
I keep thinking of the last scene of Burn After Reading:

Rainn Wilson says "The Office" probably wouldn’t be made today, telling Fox News Digital that media trends have shifted left and that cancel culture makes it difficult for edgy comedies to thrive.
Just read an article that stated that Yankees manager Aaron Boone is a huge 76ers fan and still has photos of Moses Malone and Dr J on his office walls, and now I'm furiously searching for ways of getting "Moses and the Doctor" in his hands....
It's so rare for me to read one chapter and think, "Oh, I'm going to love this novel forever." It happened today. The opener of Joy Williams's "The Quick and the Dead" is so smart and weird and funny and wonderfully written that I'm going to savor each one after.
Final call: If you email me (my address is in my bio) by Monday, I'll be able to get a signed bookplate and two custom-made Dr. J and Moses Malone cards to you by Father's Day. It makes a great gift!
Shot in the dark: we’re heading to Cape May for the long weekend next week. Anyone have any restaurant recommendations at the southern end of the Jersey shore?
“A few people are getting fabulously, unimaginably wealthy at the same time that entire generations of families worry they will never be able to afford to buy a house, raise children or enjoy a comfortable retirement” nytimes.com/2026/06/13/busin…
The clarifying thing about the world's first trillionaire is that we're seeing in real time which folks would've defended the status quo during the Gilded Age.
Isiah Thomas on former NBA players not including LeBron James on their top-5 lists:
"It's jealousy, envy... if he ain't in your top 5, you're full of sh*t."
