Happy publication day to Gillian Linden and her remarkable debut novel NEGATIVE SPACE--a cool, crystalline, and affecting book, and one for our times.

The housing crisis has been especially severe in beach towns like the Hamptons where astronomical real-estate prices, low wages, and exploitative labor practices can make it almost impossible to find a living space via @nytimes's @GiniaNYT #WeekendReads buff.ly/3PVYwGM

Pretty incontrovertible argument via @nicolegelinas: Had NYC kept vehicles with 5 or more speed- or red-light tickets off the roads in 2022, as many as 26 lives could have been saved, out of the total of 142 lives lost, reducing the death toll by 18%. vitalcitynyc.org/articles/saved…
A sublime book...
So glad to publish this excerpt from Gillian Linden's outstanding Negative Space, out next week from @wwnorton. A sly, funny, hyper-observant novel about teaching , parenting, and navigating hard choices at every scale. A truly great book. nplusonemag.com/online-only/on…

Honestly the world is terrible and life is short so you should just probably write whatever fuck kind of book you want to write.
What a thrill to interview the writer @exlarson who has long inspired me. Come hear him talk about his latest historical masterpiece at @BNUnionSqNYC on April 29.
Dear friends, My first book event for The Demon of Unrest is this Monday evening, April 29, in New York. If you're around, stop by. After that I'm on the road!
“In 1985, when students fought for the university to sever its connections to apartheid South Africa, thousands protested over the course of 21 days. The president at the time, Michael Sovern, visited student hunger strikers in the hospital.”—@GiniaNYT nytimes.com/2024/04/25/nyr…
It just so happens that @GiniaNYT has thoughts on the @Columbia melee: nytimes.com/2024/04/25/nyr…
One clarification to @GiniaNYT’s great summary - 1985 ended peacefully and legally. Sovern was there in ‘68 and knew the damage it had done to CU.
“Within days, students had occupied five buildings, seized the president’s office and taken Dean Henry Coleman hostage, holding him in his office for 26 hours.” Amazing context about the 1968 protests and how much longer Columbia waited to bring in police. nytimes.com/2024/04/25/nyr…
Superb piece by @GiniaNYT on these campus protests. Her quote from Columbia history professor Christopher Brown is exactly right—that it was as if, university administrators “have never met a 19- or 20-year-old.” nytimes.com/2024/04/25/nyr…

Cannot stop talking about this novel--nothing has come close to capturing the dread of the 2020s quite like it.
Grateful to the sharp-eyed reviewers of NEGATIVE SPACE: @thomasbeller in AIRMAIL, Lynn Steger Strong in NYTBR, Sam Sacks in WSJ. Across their varied views they've caught Gillian Linden's remarkable style, comparing it to Ann Beattie, Raymond Carver, Lydia Davis, and Joan Didion.
The student journalists @bwog and @ColumbiaSpec are doing a fantastic job covering the wrought and at times chaotic and even violent situation on and near their campus. bwog.com/2024/04/studen…
