Can vouch for the read: it absolutely is hilarious and entertaining! A total blast 🚀

The book that the film is based just came out in paperback, so you can buy it for less money and send less money my way, which is just fine with me, so long as you read this thing because it's pretty hilarious and entertaining (honest) amazon.com/When-Heavens-Went…

Alright. Big day. A double dose.
First up, our movie Wild Wild Space hits @hbo and @StreamOnMax tonight at 9pm.
You should watch it but only if you want to laugh a lot and be entertained and be smarter.
And then . . .

Now you can read the paperback AND watch the HBO doc! Win-win!

Tomorrow HBO releases the film Wild Wild Space. But today marks the release of the paperback of the book that inspired the film. It's got the double sticker and everything. . .

Since my interview with @TonyaMosley @nprfreshair many ppl have told me that something similar happened in their #birth. That's one reason I wrote Invisible Labor: The Untold Story of the Cesarean Section: to expand the stories of birth that are out there. npr.org/2024/05/28/nx-s1-497…

"REBEL GIRL is Hanna in full: politically radical, funny, and fearless...She writes unflinchingly." 🤩

Kathleen Hanna has a lot to say. The Bikini Kill frontwoman speaks to VF about her new memoir, revisiting her ’90s music, and why she felt the need to sit down and turn her “life into some kind of narrative.” vntyfr.com/Raugzmv

Is there something writerly about hypochondria? @c_crampton complies a list of authors with health anxieties.

“@c_crampton is an elegant, perceptive writer...What [she discovers] in the history of hypochondria sheds provocative light on our evolving thinking about the relationship between mind and body.”— @magiciansbook in @Slate
In the 1700s, people thought this mental disorder came from “vapors.” It’s still a mystery now. slate.trib.al/bEIdLsG

This book is a wonder! So proud to be publishing @c_crampton for the first time in the US!

Happy US publication day to A Body Made of Glass! Everyone @eccobooks did a magnificent job on this book, from the choice of the beautiful Wayne Thiebaud painting for the cover to the tiniest details of the text, and I'm so proud to be on sale in North America for the first time.
