I finished TSALMOTH yesterday, so my many-months’ saga of rereading Steven Brust has finally come to a close. If you’re current on the Vlad Taltos books, I recommend Cory Doctorow’s review of TSALMOTH, which I saved for when I finished it (it’s two months old now). It reminded me a lot of my May newsletter, only Doctorow actually remembered the plots of JHEGAALA, TIASSA, IORICH, and HAWK, which I absolutely did not. (My newsletter, it should be noted, can be signed up for, in gratitude for which I’ll send you a short volume of fiction and poetry that can’t be had any other way.)
I have some thoughts on Catriona Ward’s THE LAST HOUSE ON NEEDLESS STREET. Let’s hope I can remember what they are.
Speaking, maybe, of memory, I’ve started going to the gym three times a week, up from two, and although I am not visibly more swole I am palpably more tired. This had better be a phase. I’d love to be such a beefcake I can’t even fit through the door, but not at the cost of writing completely stalling out.

Currently listening: JADE LEGACY, by Fonda Lee, read by Andrew Kishino.
