Congratulations to all the winners of our 2025 National Book Critics Circle Awards! On a personal note, serving as NBCC President this year was a tremendous honor - terrific books, and a terrific board.
A total pleasure to re-read and write about one of my very favorite novels, Robert Coover’s UNIVERSAL BASEBALL ASSOCIATION INC. for the New York Times, recently reissued by NYRB. A captivating, prescient book. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/25/b...

I am very moved that the board of the National Book Critics Circle has chosen me to serve as our next President. It’s an incredible group at @bookcritics.bsky.social and I can't wait to get to work with them.

Sad to read about Dag Solstad's passing. Armand V is one of my favorite novels, and T. Singer is fantastic, as is Professor Anderson's Night and Shyness & Dignity. I was lucky enough to interview him a few years ago and he was characteristically brilliant: www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...
Love this story - and love the entire spring issue, which I've been reading through today with pleasure
This, from the interview between Krasznahorkai and Kunzru, really struck me.
This story is astounding - ambitious, long, and strange - and @harikunzru.bsky.social's interview contextualizes it wonderfully.
So thrilled about this!
The Yale Review's enticing Cultural Artifacts column (yalereview.org/article/favo...), which is filled with great suggestions and moments from my colleagues, is here! I surprised myself and wrote about a video game: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
Loved serving on this committee, and really love this list, packed with my favorite books of the year
