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!

Not the best beach reading during the LA heatwave lol but grateful for this first scholarly intro to my writing by Michael Kalisch. He even went into the night novels!
& happy 3rd birthday to The Nature Book 🥳

"[A]kin to Raymond Queneau’s *Exercises in Style*...but it also feels like a funhouse mirror of both airport fiction and experimental literature."
