You may be familiar with the work of Paul Theroux, Louis Theroux, Justin Theroux, Marcel Theroux, and maybe even Peter Theroux. But real heads get their literary highs from the work of Alexander Theroux, which I wrote about for The Millions in 2010: themillions.com/2010/06/lingui…
See? Even The Millions has Gayl Jones’s new novel, THE UNICORN WOMAN, on their #SummerReads roundup. You know what that means. 😉 buff.ly/45NPK4z
Bringing back this oldie but goodie about being a teacher from Nick Ripatrazone. Read it my first year of teaching and it made me happy about the decision I’d made. Wish there were more like it. themillions.com/2014/05/55-tho…
There’s a reason why Imani Perry calls Gayl Jones “one of the most versatile and transformative writers of the 20th century.” You’ll see when her new novel, THE UNICORN NOVEL, comes out next month! H/T: The Millions #SummerReads buff.ly/45NPK4z

I see I've got some catching up to do on Lynne Tillman, who's put out a novel, a short story collection, and what I suppose we could call an essay collection since I explored the "Tillmanverse" for The Millions in 2011: themillions.com/2011/04/smirki…
Happy pub day to my dear, X-less friend Amy Reading! As The Millions says, “Put the kettle on—or better yet, pour a classic gin martini—in preparation for this one, which underscores the many women authors White championed."
Herscht 07769 is one of my favorite books published this year! It's also tied for my favorite Krasznahorkai alongside Seiobo, thanks again to ottilie mulzet @ottiliemulzet.bsky.social's indefatigable work. I wrote a ecstaticly about the new tome over at The Millions this summer: themillions.com/2024/07/most-a…
