Literally who do these people know that get them splashy coverage without publishing a single book? It does make sense that Lithub would be into a press with a colophon that looks like an ai company, has a "ceo", and thinks the Warped Tour was a music scene.

Hallucinogenic diarrhea is the Tom Waits of human experience.

from "From the Pocket of Agent Dickinson" - Cleveland Review of Books My wires reach her brain. It is a brain of Nothingness. In there go the dictionaries.

"The chickens are organizing a game. It appears to be a putt putt tournament, or something like it. A hybrid of poker and minigolf. At this point, I realize my plan has backfired."

I got to talk with everyone's favorite independent literature podcaster again, now almost a year out from the release of MASSIVE, we talked about Joe's insights and the general response to the book.
