In solidarity with the writers boycotting the PEN America World Voices Festival; PEN America United; Writers Against the War on Gaza; and all the other writers who have declined PEN awards this week––

I read the Renata Adler collected nonfiction book that NYRB Classics put out and thought it had a lot of good lessons about how poorly that kind of writing ages

I completely dreaded this essay coming out, I hope that perversely bodes well for the reading experience.

Journalists: if you’re interested in covering the Freedom Flotilla—which will soon bring 5500 tons of food and medicine to Gaza and confront the illegal Israeli blockade—feel free to reach out to me here!

I first learned about Iman Mersal's gorgeous book 'Traces of Enayat' from this excellent interview she did with Maru Pabón last year: bidoun.org/articles/a-pri…

Read the interview, then read this excerpt of Traces in the new issue of n+1: nplusonemag.com/issue-47/essay…

Oddly, I remember a piece, published by Jezebel, in 2015, that skillfully mapped the dynamics of backlash/offense/clickbait and women’s online writing—and the many paradoxes thereof. Didn’t answer any massive questions, but asked the right ones, well. It’s by Jia Tolentino lol

Eid Al-Fitr comes as our people in Gaza suffer from the genocide and all that followed it; a human catastrophe the keeps unfolding. Despite this war throughout all of Palestine, we hold on to hope, and vow to work hard to achieve the Palestinian goal of freedom and justice.

At 4:00 AM, the IOF abducted Birzeit University graduate student Layan Kayed from her family’s home north of Ramallah without explanation. Layan is a former political prisoner who was incarcerated for 16 months in 2020 for her student organizing as an undergraduate at Birzeit.

This fundraiser has been up for quite some time & we still haven’t managed to collect half the amount needed. My friend is a student from Gaza trying to help her family survive while also fighting cancer & the hostility of inaccessible healthcare

Thank you, Tobi Haslett, for this brilliant essay on my work. Thank you for understanding—and eloquently voicing—the spine of theory latent in my camp circumnavigations.

I wrote about THE BEAST for this week's 4Columns. 4columns.org/anderson-melis…

TOBI on WAYNE!: “Crudeness cut with pomp: it’s tempting to call this camp. But Koestenbaum may be too elegant too erudite all the tension and delectation too touched by modernist seriousness and classical notions of virtuosity” 4columns.org/haslett-tobi/s… Tobi Haslett Wayne Koestenbaum
