Thanks! I already bought (and have nearly finished) The Largesse of the Sea Maiden. But I'll be reading Jesus' Son for sure, based on how much I like this one.

I agree. It does seem like some puns are rare birds spotted from afar before zipping away, while others are wordganisms bred so monomaniacally that they can't survive in the world for more than a few seconds.

A potentially vapid question (for @benwurgaft.bsky.social): Are puns more like wild animals that we momentarily trap, or are they like domesticated animals (and if so, what are their wild forebears)?

There’s a nice thing that happens about 80% of the way through writing a novel. The ideas start playing with each other, unsupervised.

Good morning. The seemingly bottomless demand for free commentary on the culture is a symptom of being priced out of the culture itself. Concerts, theatrical performances, museums, & even movies are increasingly out-of-reach.
