The year in numbers

Another end-of-year wrap-up that nobody asked for.

I’m not going to bore you with some tale of woe about all the personal life challenges 2025 brought to me and my loved ones. We all face those, year in and year out, and some years are tougher than others, and in the end, it’s all relative. Suffice it to say that I’m a fortunate person and I try to be grateful for all of life’s blessings.

So instead, I will bore you with a listicle about my year in writing.

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?
