    I made so many mistakes in my first crack at this tweet that I deleted and started over. Biggest mistake: not including the name of his wonderful Pickett's Charge, which is not a historical novel.

    My pal has a new book, The Epicureans. Like his prior 2, Land O' Goshen & Pickett's Charge, it's a fairy tale deeply rooted in the Southern soil and the scary stories of his Alabama upbringing. This one's about rich people who eat children. Non-metaphorically.

    In his decades of writing and editing in Atlanta, Charles McNair developed a reputation for both Southern gentility and a riotous, sometimes scathing imagination. His third novel, The Epicureans, is a darkly original feat of the imagination:

    Some people are making an argument here that the story directly addresses -- that the photo should be suppressed out of respect for the families. If you want to know what the families really think, watch the final episode of Spike Lee's doc on HBO. They talk about it on camera.

    I grew up on Long Island, where 9/11 happened yesterday. I wanted to write about that -- about never forgetting -- so in June I went to watch the cops and the firemen play football. They gave me a story about grief and loss and, of course, breaking balls.

    I'm not happy with Esquire's decision to keep the Falling Man behind a paywall this year, but I don't work there anymore and I have no say. I am happy, however, with the work of on the story of how that story came to be.

    My pal Kevin Van Valkenburg wrote this last night after watching Naomi Osaka’s press conference. (Yes, that’s right: last night.) Like a lot of Kevin’s work, it is an expertly written argument in favor of treating those who play games for our entertainment with compassion.

    Been working on something for the last few days that took on a very different meaning at midnight last night. Here is what it’s like to slow down and watch — really watch — Naomi Osaka, maybe for the last time.

    Donald Newlove was a really good writer and Those Drinking Days, written in an irreducible voice, was perhaps the first memoir I ever read, along with Frank Conroy’s Stop-Time. I wish I’d known he was still alive. RIP.

    Sad news. Newlove's Sweet Adversity is one of the most powerful post-war American novels, heart- and gut-wrenching in its impact. Kudos to Rick Schober () for bringing Newlove's work back to print in recent years.

    In today's edition of 's "Red Hand Files," someone asks if he's concerned by rumors that the COVID vaccine deadens the soul. His answer should be everywhere: "I suspect the soul is robust enough to stand its ground against a remedy that will save so many lives."

    This is going to be fun. I want to ask a question, even though musically her heart lies in Jersey.

    On Long Island, distance is not measured in miles but time and effort. 20 minutes: “no problem.” 30 minutes: “Pain the ass.” 45 minutes: “Really?” An hour: “City” or “Hamptons.” To this day, I have no idea of the actual distance between any two points.
