I went back and forth on this list for way longer than I’d care to admit. Unsure about loading it up with lonely boy favorites from adolescence or leaning on naval gazers that for the most part I’m only pretending to understand, I compulsively revised this for weeks before ripping it all up in a fit of frustration.

Here are ten somewhat arbitrarily selected titles that have moved me and/or informed my worldview, for better or worse:

The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect - Roger Williams
Frisk - Dennis Cooper
The Wind’s Twelve Quarters - Ursula K. Le Guin
Dhalgren - Samuel Delaney
In A Lonely Place - Karl Edward Wagner
Notice - Heather Lewis
Axiomatic - Greg Egan
The Room - Hubert Selby, Jr.
Tales of Times Square - Josh Alan Friedman
Her Smoke Rose Up Forever - Alice B. Sheldon (writing as James Tiptree, Jr.)

Surreal doesn’t begin to sum it up. Much love to Don, Josh, Jorge, Dave, and Geoff for having me up there. Much love to Sean for his whole life and his continuing ubiquitous presence throughout our collective lives.

I haven’t slept much since Friday. Words fail me. Nothing but love.

RIPSPM

As much as I love music, it’s an art form that I’m growing increasingly loathe to talk about. Therefore, I’m forever excited for the moments in an interview where things go off the rails and we can discuss practically anything else.

Eternally grateful to Jimmy Cajoles at the Southwest Review for the opportunity to drone on and on about my two favorite subjects: Books and theology.

You won’t hear about my favorite complex oscillator (Schlappei Three Body) or what it was like to see His Hero Is Gone (they were pretty great), but you will get a bit of insight into how my reading habits influence my work. Should you care about that stuff? Probably not, but it’s fun for me to talk about all the same.

Contemporary fiction legend / my dear pal BR Yeager put together the current issue, and I’m incredibly honored that he made space for me and my big, dumb opinions.

If you feel so inclined, check out the interview at the link in my bio.

My man @soy_mouselo took a nice portrait and all, but the star of the show is the city caught reflected in glass behind me. Absolutely crazy shot!

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
