Saul Williams : Martyr Loser King | Milkweed Editions
Saul Williams : Martyr Loser King | Milkweed Editions
Martyr Loser King, the debut graphic novel of poet, musician, actor and director Saul Williams, with art by Morgan Sorne, not only exists in the same world as his feature film Neptune Frost, but also that of three of his albums, one of his poetry collections and a touring dance performance called The Motherboard Suite. All of these […]

From the Archives : Zadie Smith : Grand Union | Milkweed Editions
Today’s classic episode from the archives with Zadie Smith was recorded in 2019 at the studios of KBOO community radio to discuss her story collection Grand Union. The conversation ranges wildly—from the politics of representation, of being “free to imagine,” to the freedoms we’ve surrendered to surveillance capitalism. It ranges widely because her collection is, in […]
Molly Crabapple : Here Where We Live Is Our Country : The Story of the Jewish Bund | Milkweed Editions
Molly Crabapple : Here Where We Live Is Our Country : The Story of the Jewish Bund | Milkweed Editions
One of the elements that makes Molly Crabapple’s latest book so remarkable is, not only the remarkable stories it unearths and retells, but more specifically how she tells these stories, these erased stories, these stories meant to be forgotten. Not only does she tell them in a dynamic, often thrilling, way, she also does so […]
Lily Brooks-Dalton : Ruins | Milkweed Editions
Lily Brooks-Dalton : Ruins | Milkweed Editions
Lily Brooks-Dalton’s Ruins is both a cleverly plotted page-turner, and an emotionally engaging, character-driven novel with an unforgettable protagonist; it’s both erudite and a wild ride, inviting and yet mysterious, only slowly revealing its cards. Through the lens of archaeology, Ruins explores how cultures construct history and shape memory, and through our prickly protagonist Ember, the […]

From the Archives : Ted Chiang : Exhalation | Milkweed Editions
Excited to share this classic episode from the archives with one of the great short storytellers of our time, Ted Chiang. This conversation happened in 2019 at the studios of KBOO community radio in Portland, Oregon. Blake Crouch speaking of Exhalation, the book we discuss today, says “Ted Chiang has no contemporary peers when it […]

Jordy Rosenberg : Night Night Fawn | Milkweed Editions
Today’s conversation with Jordy Rosenberg is many things but at its heart it explores the question of what it means to write revolutionary literature (or as Trotsky would call it “October literature”). Whether we are talking about trans horror or a Marxist surreal, the originating violence of early capitalism or writing toward utopian horizons; whether […]
Joan Naviyuk Kane : with snow pouring southward past the window | Milkweed Editions
Joan Naviyuk Kane : with snow pouring southward past the window | Milkweed Editions
When Cynthia Cruz describes Joan Naviyuk Kane’s latest collection as a series of poems that “both shows and enacts how a self is brought to being through the abyss,” I think of Kane’s own words about poetry: as “a place of refuge and possibility, a generative space. Not a space of loss, but contingence.” What […]

From the Archives : Brandon Shimoda : The Grave on the Wall | Milkweed Editions
Today’s episode is a classic from the archives, a conversation from 2019 with Brandon Shimoda about his book The Grave on the Wall. While the book centers on an exploration of Shimoda’s grandfather’s internment at Fort Missoula during World War II, it is really an interrogation of America that extends both directions in time from […]

Báyò Akómoláfé : Selah | Milkweed Editions
If we were to take seriously that we, as humans, aren’t the sole authors of our world, that there are other intelligences at play, that we are only one of many agents of change and transformation, and that “we” aren’t even entirely ourselves given that “we” are composed of many “others,” many strangers that nevertheless […]

Sangamithra Iyer : Governing Bodies : A Memoir, A Confluence, A Watershed | Milkweed Editions
“When I tell you a story about my body, I cannot separate it from a story about water. And a story about water is also a story about family. And a story about family is rooted in the earth…,” opens Sangamithra Iyer’s Governing Bodies. What does it mean for a memoir to assume the elusive, ever-changing […]
