Very excited about The Unfolding, my 1st novel in 10 years! Pub Date September 6th, Viking Books. Pre-Order now (and if you happen to work in a bookstore, or have a book group--I'd love to come read.)
This guy changed my life. In 1989 he published my story, A Real Doll about a boy dating Barbie, no one else would publish it because they were afraid of being sued. Michael didn't care--he said he had nothing to lose.
I found the most effective way to teach both politics and economics to my dogs was to work with cookies n' kibble. I said if there is a shut down--there is no kibble, which I know is a scary thought so for today I'll give you a cookie, a small little cookie with a bite taken out.
Its a big day when

tweets that The Unfolding is 'exceptionally good' and Robert Englund aka Freddy Krueger is spotted in LA carrying the book.
Take nothing for granted. On August 18, 1920 the 19th Amendment was ratified -- it took almost 100 years! Imagine if your mother had not been allowed to vote?
Can you imagine that there are STILL people who would like to make sure your vote doesn't count?

Ted--gotta point out that when he's not writing brilliant books that have inspired millions, Stephen King helps writers who have suffered medical or other crisis situations. And he doesn't even tell anyone about it imagine that-the anonymous good deed!

In September when The Unfolding

was published, I got guff for the book being both after the fact and not real enough. The arrest of Heinrich XIII Prince Reuss planning a German coup from his fancy hunting lodge--well read The Unfolding P. 206

Following a small group of Republicans recovering from Obama's election in 2008, it's a devastating book about love: familial love, love of ones country, and the love of ones self.
It's brilliant.

Wow. Just Wow and So glad you wrote it and published it and let it out into the world where others can see, hear, feel your story and send you love and support.
@KeraBolonik
spoke with
@nycnovel
about her prophetic novel 'The Unfolding', writing a political book in an increasingly violent climate, where literature and the First Amendment are under attack, and the challenge of reality quickly outrunning satire.
🤩
@nytimes
calls THE UNFOLDING "a sharply observed, wickedly funny political satire by the reliably brilliant A.M. Homes.”

Weird aside, when the Panda's arrived at Washington National Zoo (1972) a friend's mom took us to see them (and Pat Nixon). I remember making the evening news with my witty observation, 'there's nothing giant about them.' BUT I have always wanted to just tickle on on the tummy!
