DEATH OF THE AUTHOR is semi-autobiographical, full of robots, weed and wahala, it’s weird, unhinged and I wrote it while in such pain. For all this to resonate with this nation’s (🇺🇸) librarians (the custodians of knowledge) at this strange and fraught time in the United States is…🥹!

@nnedi took it to read during downtime at an event last week, but didn't end up with any downtime

But, it's in the on deck stash now, so looking forward to it soon
