Wilco, Cousin, 2023 on dBpm
Wilco’s 13th full length studio album, produced by Cate Le Bon, and recorded at the Loft in Chicago. The cover artwork is by Azuma Makoto – see Frozen Flowers 2023. Truly a fantastic Wilco album – if you’ve fallen off the Wilco train time to get back aboard.
My copy via Waterloo Records in Austin TX

I may or may not have come up with this class after a conversation here.
The Magical Object In Fiction: Objects can be props, but they can also accumulate greater meaning. We'll start with the functional objects already in most stories & turn them into reflections of character, conduits for intimacy, motifs, & powerful metaphors—creating dimension, complexity, & resonance in our stories.

I wrote about a story from Farah Ali's The People Want to Live and the way a simple description can come to life through the layering of seeming contradiction.

I'm also going to be teaching a remote & asynchronous class on voice & perspective.
We'll examine a variety of narration techniques and the opportunities & challenges of each.
Topics include: POV, filtering, personality, sensibility, reliability, secrets & mystery, omniscience, tense, narrative distance, curation of objects, narrative strategy, & some other strange stuff
Starts Mar. 15

This time I wrote about Paul Yoon's SNOW HUNTERS and how a passage that layers contradictory emotions can get us to _feel_ in an amazing way, creating an experience beyond what can be articulated.

Since we've all been talking about how to find and develop interesting characters, I feel like sharing an old craft post about a fun way to think about describing them.
It's about Silvia Moreno-Garcia's (amazing!) CERTAIN DARK THINGS and physical description that is really alive and thrilling.

I wrote this a while back about MONGRELS (by Stephen Graham Jones) and the sense of wonder, which is something I'm absurdly fascinated by.
How do we create--and hold!--such a fleeting sensation? I love thinking about it.
And I'd love to learn your ideas about other ways to play with it.

This time I wrote about Megan Gidding's The Women Could Fly and a moment that is small but truly thrilling. It's about subtext and landscape and a weirding of the way energy flows within a passage.
Also, the book is magnificent.
