On interior monologues, the devil we don’t know, the future of fiction, and the rage of the literary man

Happy Juneteenth!

Here are some lit-related items that caught my eye in recent weeks:

Do you hear an internal monologue?
The rage of the literary man. “He’s certainly publishing less, but he’s louder and angrier than ever.”
The Devil You Don’t Know. Noir writers know evil is real. What about the rest of us?
The future of fiction. Will all tomorrow’s novels be serialized on Substack?
