3/5 — Murakami’s *real* first novel is “The Wild Sheep Chase”; these two earlier novellas I’d recommend only for Murakami completists.

My NY Senators -- especially Schumer, but also Gillibrand -- need to go. I certainly won't ever be voting for them again, especially after this vote.

As a nearly lifelong NYer and a 50-yr habitué of The Strand, seeing my debut novel for sale on its shelves is as heartening as it is surreal. If you’re in town and happen to be around B’eay & 12th St, drop in and grab a copy for yourself—or for a friend. (Shout-out to CS, buyer extraordinaire!)

Given that Murakami is one of my favorite living authors, I definitely wanted to check this out at Waseda University while visiting Tokyo…

A very big “Thank You!” to everyone who came out--in "feels-like" winter temps, no less!--to my reading/discussion/book-signing at the StuyTown Community Center yesterday. And to those who purchased my novel, “Exit Tickets” — much appreciated: enjoy!
FYI: "Exit Tickets" is now out in paperback

If you'll be in Manhattan near StuyTown this Monday, please do drop by to hear me read from and discuss my debut novel, "Exit Tickets," which Publishers Weekly, awarding it their 'Critic's Pick' (1/12/26), called "a powerful, realistic portrayal of life in the American public education system."

While I’d never condone such an attack, of course, I nonetheless very much understand the (albeit misplaced) rage that drove this man to such an act…
