I completely forgot that I had preordered and got a mysterious package from Bookshop that I tore open β€” what a dreamy cover; I remember that baby β€” and immediately began reading. Mazel tov, M. It’s mesmerizing! James Sanders and I were kvelling about it this weekend.

I may see James tomorrow, but it’ll depend on when I regain consciousness. I’d love to have that conversation ….

Ah! Darcy that’s delightful! I just stepped off a plane to see this. Just what I needed after a six hour delay and five hour flight

Speaking of which, I feel like LARB should publish a convo between you and James about the book and related topics…
