A few more updates for the spring! I’m thrilled that The Other Americans continues to receive coverage, with new pieces in The National by Ben Ellis and in Middle East Eye by Aida Alami. And Time Magazine named it one of the best fiction books of 2019 so far.

I also talked about The Other Americans to Medaya Ocher and Kate Wolf for the Los Angeles Review of Books Radio Hour and to Jon Wiener for The Nation‘s Start Making Sense podcast.

In other news, I wrote an op-ed about the assault on reproductive rights for The Nation as well as an essay for their Spring Books issue on border walls, immigrant flows, speculative fiction, and John Lanchester’s new novel, The Wall.
