@VCP. In addition to #Melville's "Bartleby," you might want to check out his "The Paradise of Bachelors and the Tartarus of Maids." You could also consider including Percival #Everett's "The Fix" (I taught it with "Bartleby" and it went well) and "Token" by #MauriceCarlosRuffin in his collection, #TheOnesWhoDon'tSayTheyLoveYou. Have a great class!

@kawulf @design_law. I got so excited about #Everett that I forgot to say what I'm reading, actually rereading for a #workinprogress. It's a fantastic novel by #MauriceCarlosRuffin. #WeCastAShadow. I highly recommend it. #bookstodon, #litstudies

This is a thoughtful piece by #SophieVershbow, dogmom of #Simon, on #booktwitter. I miss the connections made with authors -- the opportunity to tell them how much I like their work and the thrill of hearing back! Happy to have found @claire and @matjohnson here. Still looking for #RachelYoder, #MauriceCarlosRuffin. https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/books/a42638589/book-twitter-end/?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Lit%20Hub%20Daily:%20January%2030%2C%202023&utm_term=lithub_master_list
Inside Book Twitter's Final(?) Days

“It feels like the castle we made is being swept off the table by a billionaire's tantrum," one writer says. Here, insiders tell Esquire how book publishing will change if Twitter goes under.

@AlextheZee @LAbdelaaty. I miss the brief exchanges I had with these writers on the other app. If you're here, would you let me know? #RachelYoder, #MauriceCarlosRuffin, #ClaireOshetsky, #JenFawkes, #JasonMott.
