Thank you for reading!
Hooray! So happy it's in your hands!
The best nonfiction book I've read in a looooooong time. Book awards were invented for books like this. Scholars, take note...this is a book that unites academia and storytelling in the most thoughtful and rigorous way! Great editing from @katekilla.bsky.social and h/t @bostonglobe.com
Another starred review! Big thanks to the anonymous Publishers Weekly reviewer who read with such attention and thoughtfulness. βMajumdar proves once again that she is a master of the moral dilemma.β
New book trend: the unboxing still life. #booksky
We interrupt all this dire news to announce that I HAVE A COVER OF MY NEW BOOK. It will pub in March 2026 with the @uminnpress.bsky.social . So happy to work with this great press again. And you will be happy to know that the title is not misleading--there are REAL GHOSTS in this book.
Galley of Beings on the front counter at Island Books. The cover shows a flying saucer hovering over trees and a car.
I just read and highly recommend Beings by @ilanaslightly.bsky.social! Ilana Masad brilliantly weaves together three stories from the early 1960s to present day about people surviving at the margins of society, alien sightings, and memory. Out in September. islandbooks.com/book/9781639...
Can't wait to put it in your hands β€οΈβ€οΈ
