Kunzru's most recent project for TC, "On the Difficulties in Writing the Truth," details how writing can be weaponized against fascism, even as online distortions and disinformation campaigns undermine—and scramble—such efforts. https://t.co/uRY19gt7C4

"For totalitarian regimes, language is an instrument of subjugation...Attempting to ensure that words mean what the regime says they mean is a way of undermining people’s ability to inhabit a shared reality outside of what the regime says reality is." https://t.co/OxBcH3v1v6

I love, love, LOVE reading the acknowledgements in books, and it makes me sad that people might skip them, so I wrote about why they’re so joyful and valuable. (Please let me know your favourite acknowledgements if have them). https://t.co/kK0c1BCZKd

A powerful, damning, expertly-reported piece by @edyong209 showing how the pandemic didn't just destroy lives and livelihoods, but also destroyed myths about America, by exposing an utterly broken system. And all of it was made worse by Trump. https://t.co/Dxdv9SFJRM

I've only written one book set in the present in which it was written but I recognize how challenging "timeliness" is, if that's the goal. Love this @djpoissant essay on how his book's reality kept changing, in part because novels take so long to write.https://t.co/cmKRVMKcz1
