Q3 is in the books, and the numbers look very different from Q2! 📊 Between July and September I read 27 books, 4,874 pages and 164 hours, and while Q2 was almost entirely audio, this quarter print and ebooks came back, so the page count jumped from 574 to 4,874. 📚 Every book was fiction and 19 of them were romance, which explains why lighthearted and funny overtook emotional as my top moods. Small-town romance topped the tropes again with seven books, and Elsie Silver and Laura Starkey were my most-read authors with three books each. ✨ 21 of the 23 authors I tracked were women, four books came from AO3, and my average rating settled at 4.03, the lowest this year but still mostly four stars and up! ⭐ What would your reading stats say about you this year?

Digital culture provides an abundance of material through which people can express themselves, but it can also make it difficult to distinguish between who someone is and the identity they have learned to perform. Some behaviours are readily turned into labels, while others are not considered sufficient to establish an identity. “She likes to smoke. That must mean that she is a smoker. She likes to write. That can’t mean that she is a writer.” If you tell people you are something, that is what you are. If you tell people you do something, that is what they think you are.

Mazel to my new nephew Adam and my stunning niece Maia. The nor'easter couldn't stop the revelry. The ceremony was deftly officiated by Robby, and we danced the night away in a barn as the rain came down. Congrats and much love to you two.

The Knicks won and my profile of @madelinecash was on the cover of the Sunday New York Times — what an ecstatic return to New York! Since 2022, when I first saw Madeline and @anikajadelevy show up in ruffle princess dresses at New York literary parties, I’ve been fascinated with the theatrics of the downtown scene. After the grief and culture wars of the pandemic, what happened downtown felt like a sharp turn from a millennial culture of care towards a sort of New Decadence: art that values artifice over nature, absurdity over morality, pageantry over identity, theatricality over authenticity, candy vape over natural wine. Who were these San Fernando Valley girls who had grown up in the literal and figurative shadow of the Hollywood sign? Who embraced the cringe, who used method acting to elevate mundane reality? When I attempted to interview Cash and Levy for Flash Art in 2023, they invited me to a @forevermagusa launch. Then proceeded to drunkenly ignore me the entire night, not uttering a single word in response to my earnest questions. I didn’t enjoy most stories Forever published, but something was happening in Chinatown that exhilarated and frightened me. In Norse mythology, it is the theatrics of the trickster Loki that drive the world towards the end times, the Ragnarok: and now the prophesy of the Völuspa seemed to play out in front of me in Chinatown — a time of jesters, of absurdist clowns, of mask and costume balls, of Trump the internet troll. A lot has been written about Dimes Square and its politics. But I think this quote that the editors cut explain not only the provocations of the scene, but a larger generational affect: *** I asked if she had inherited her flair for method acting from her mother. Cash said she learned it on the New York scene. “For a long time, I was really averse to being performative or cringe or detract from the work. I would just submit stories from my bedroom. But when I got to New York, it was like learning onstage. If you want to stand out, you have to debase yourself. It’s embarrassing but that's what you’ve got to do.” “For our generation, we have to think of crazier and crazier things to get attention.”
