Hi everyone. Sorry to start your day with bad news. It's my very sad duty to inform you all that @stevesilberman.bsky.social , my wonderful husband and best friend, passed away last night. I'll have more info later. For now, please take a moment to remember his kindness, humor, wisdom, and love.
Oops i missed a lot here these few weeks!
Happiest of happy book birthdays to Porochista Khakpour and her new novel TEHRANGELES, on shelves today. We’ve been classmates, dorm mates, roommates, but more than anything I get to say I’m a friend and a fan. Can’t wait to read this one @porochista.bsky.social! Congratulations…

I feel like we are in for a brand new diaspora experience - 70's - the shah is mean 80's - hostage taker! 90's - go back to iraq 00's - are you the candle light vigil Ira(?) or the saddam one 10's - i ❤️ tahdig 20's - my iranian friend isn't weird like that diaspora @porochista.bsky.social
Kind of really very much exciting news: The 6-part Novelist's Toolkit class I taught last fall is now available ON DEMAND (recorded) from StoryStudio, along with shorter classes from @porochista.bsky.social and Frances de Pontes Peebles, with many more to come. 🧵
It is at 6:30pm—and 5 dollars or 28 dollars gets you a book plus admission (the book retails for $28)…this helps support the bookstore & we know indie bookstores need all the support in the world, so thank you so so much 🙏🏽💐
A good time as any to remind you the NYC launch is TOMORROW at @mcnallyjackson Seaport location! There will be a cake! Dog! Nice people! A hang-out in their cafe/bar after! And best of all I get to be in conversation with brilliant cool @laylology RSVP here www.mcnallyjackson.com/event/poroch...
