    I'm beyond thrilled to say that my second book, Self-Portrait in Black-and-White: Unlearning Race, will be published by on 10/15/19 and is available for pre-order now:

  2. This is the level of thinking, you can’t make this up: “If you did this in a conference room, they’d leave,” Rao says. “But wealthy white women have been taught never to leave the dinner table.”

  3. Also, it goes without saying this does absolutely nothing to actually help those in need.

  4. This is exorbitant decadence, not at all unlike a woman once telling me she was paid $3,000 to punch an investment banker in the face.

    One of the best lines in The Sun Also Rises is "Don't get drunk, Jake", after he's had three martinis and three bottles of rioja, but is thinking about ordering some more.

  6. Okay, this raises the same question I have when reading Hemingway: were bottles smaller then?

  7. My favorite though is The Sun Also Rises, it doesn’t seem humanly possible what they put away.

  8. If you met someone in the morning and mentioned your hangover, they’d say “let me fix you a drink.” If you were sad: “I’ll make us some drinks.” If you were happy: “let’s have some drinks.” If it’s Sunday afternoon and you’re looking for your brother: “bourbon, scotch or rye?”

  9. Rereading Another Country by James Baldwin and—as often happens with 20th-century novels—am just floored by the amount and frequency of drinking. A person could just always have a scotch and water. I know the Mad Men cliché, but did the world really used to be like this?

  10. Do you experience consciousness as an internal monologue?

  11. Was mentioning internal monologues to my brother last summer on vacation and he responded that he didn’t think he had one. “What do you hear, then?” I asked him. “Just a lot of rap lyrics bouncing around,” was his answer 😂

    This was a tough week, and I just need to vent a little more about finding out that abuse of power isn't a thing now. That the president is a crime wave in human form and the Republicans said "And your point is what?" That a criminal act isn't impeachable if it happens...

  13. I didn’t know her well, only met her twice and followed from afar on Facebook, but Leila was very good friends with several of my friends and her illness and passing came as a terrible shock. But however brief, what a remarkable, rich and meaningful life:

  14. This is such a dubious take. Both Clinton and Tlaib made unhelpful comments, but the rhetoric of "listening to women of color" means only Clinton can be held to account? This can't be the path.

  15. Republican leaders in Congress believe—and privately say—that they fear the country is quickly changing in ways that may soon deprive them of power, and that they must use the power they have now to delay it as long as possible, even by harming the Republic if necessary.

    I wrote an essay for this weekend's magazine about the way New York is depicted on TV these days, as a sort of millennial fantasyland.

  17. Good essay by - gets at something that feels entirely true: when Hollywood wants to ‘humanize’ people to create a multicultural fantasy they tend to make the ‘other’ act like they went to Oberlin

  18. Some UK-based PR company emailed me proposing to help me get Twitter verification for a fee of 8,000 POUNDS(!) This is a service people actually purchase!? That is Kurt Cobain level out of your mind. I would spend £8K on drapes before that 😂

  19. The lack of respect for the public’s intelligence is staggering.

    Je suis heureux de partager avec vous l’affiche du film «Petit Pays», réalisé par Eric Barbier, adaptation de mon roman du même nom. Sortie française le 18 Mars 2020 et avant-première à Kigali (Rwanda) début Mars (je vous préciserai la date plus tard).

  21. It’s a nice twist of fate that the UK edition of my book will share a pub date (February 6) with his brilliant new work:
