Can't express how excited I am to share today's conversation with Omar El Akkad, about a book I'll surely be thinking alongside for a long time. A map, a guide, a thinking through, and a breakup letter with the American dream. Audio📻🔥: tinhouse.com/podcast/omar-el…

Completely devoured @omarelakkad’s newest work and wow wow wow. Akkad has achieved the difficult task of coalescing his mind with his pen and has done so with effortless intimacy. The result is an exemplar in clarity and impact. Thank you @text_publishing for sending this my way!

In the first of this month's online reviews, @RuthMahalia considers Michelle de Kretser's Theory and Practice (@text_publishing). 'Theory & Practice takes seriously what it means to love: not only people, but ideas too.' meanjin.com.au/latest/build-…

The novel’s basic plot could seem a familiar or even clichéd coming-of-age arc, but in de Kretser’s hands it is electric and complex.
