I believe he also fired someone from his publication for rude tweets
Clarissa on Serious or Pretending?December 19, 2025
Thank you, this is a great way to summarize this dude of whom I never heard before. I almost threw…
Clarissa on Serious or Pretending?December 19, 2025
That this even has to be explained is deeply bizarre. Everybody understood this kind of thing forever but all of…

Yep. Works every single time. I play this game at bookstores sometimes. If a book has a male name on…
Demotrash on Readiness TestDecember 19, 2025
Published in 2022, not a legacy author like Franzen. We know he's not straight and white.
Clarissa on Readiness TestDecember 19, 2025
I haven't checked but it's very likely. I'm sure it's assigned reading in many schools. And then we keep complaining…
