Today is National Missing Children’s Day. So it seems appropriate to unveil my cover today, not in celebration of my book but in honor of all the missing kids and the people who try to save them.

"In a departure from Campside’s usual stuff, Reign of Error is a chattier, bouncier, more overtly humorous affair." Nice write-up of the new / / collaboration in Vulture today – thanks, :

Serious q for gun control advocates: you’ve failed to effect change. Pls face it. You can’t do it, thx to the 2A. We’re all well aware you don’t like that fact, but fact it is. What’s next? Must we just stay here sad, concerned, lamenting? Could we possibly talk OTHER SOLUTIONS?

My latest tells the story of a man who came to the U.S. as a child, made it home and now is fighting to come back after the country sent him away as further punishment for a long-ago crime.

Reading that BuzzFeed memo and the tone--studied sadness, pious talk about the challenging atmosphere, self-recrimination as a form of self-exoneration, a bright eye on the future--is the most legacy-media thing I've ever seen. Some things never change. I wish their writers well.

Since we’re on the subj of team—bc this is about my family, I’m prob getting more credit than the avg podcast writer/host. But this wasn’t written like a memoir (thank god). It was a collaboration. And if it works it’s bc @lindskilbride and (aka Sean) know audio.

Who was the grand champ of novel titles? (Criteria: not just one interesting title, but a series of them, across the entire oeuvre.)
For my money, it's García Márquez, Toni Morrison, and Faulkner. Try to beat "Absalom, Absalom!," with that exquisite exclamation mark. You can't.
