They are (usually) great! I\u2019ll be referring to them by their middle names on this blog moving forward: Luna and Max.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Okay. So, the first half of the year was taken up with a lot of pregnancy-related books, most of which offered conflicting advice. (As parents might predict, the summer was filled with books related to baby sleep habits. These, too, largely offered competing and unhelpful advice; <em>yes, I changed them and fed them and swaddled the hell out of them already<\/em>.) The world of publishing around pregnancy and twins\/multiples is much more limited and I found bits and pieces of these books useful in reducing <i>some<\/i> of the stress we felt in the first two trimesters; but I thought these were also pretty bad for the most part. (I may go more in depth on the pregnancy\/parenting book genre in a longer post because I have #feelings about these texts, the market for literally the most mundane yet precious aspect of human culture, and the pedagogical expectations of mainstream books.) On the off chance that any readers are expecting twins in the near future (congrats!), feel free to get in touch&#8211;I\u2019m happy to share some specific recommendations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Carmen Maria Machado&#8217;s memoir, <i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Dream-House-Carmen-Maria-Machado\/dp\/1644450038\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">In the Dream House<\/a>,\u00a0<\/i>was the best book I read this year. Intentionally unsettling, Machado pushes on the boundaries of form and genre while excavating trauma and abuse in a book that&#8217;s unlike anything else I&#8217;ve come across. It&#8217;s definitely a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.theamericancrawl.com\/?p=101\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BSRAYDEKWTDWT-<\/a>contender and, considering how much I liked <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Her-Body-Other-Parties-Stories\/dp\/155597788X\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Her Body and Other Parties<\/em><\/a>, Machado is a new favorite writer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">And while I realize it got a ton of press, I would universally recommend Chanel Miller\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Know-My-Name-Chanel-Miller\/dp\/073522370X\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>Know My Name<\/i><\/a>. It\u2019s not a pleasant read but I am grateful to have gotten to learn from Miller\u2019s words. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Though eight doesn\u2019t look like much in comparison to other kinds of books account for, I read a lot more poetry than in recent years. I\u2019m going to shoot for one collection per month in 2020.To be honest, I was kicked back into a poetry mood as I ruminated on the loss of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MDjcQpJ3GsE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">musician<\/a> and poet David Berman earlier this year. Rereading his collection, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Actual-Air-David-Berman\/dp\/1890447048\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>Actual Air<\/i><\/a>, was a painful reminder of Berman\u2019s genius and humor, the title of this post comes from this collection. Likewise, I\u2019ve been regularly coming back to Zadie Smith\u2019s reading of Frank O\u2019Hara&#8217;s &#8220;Animals.&#8221; The text has crept into a couple of my academic talks and part of it serves as an epigraph for a short essay coming out in 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/606511050&amp;color=%23ff5500&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&amp;show_teaser=true&amp;visual=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"300\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">Nick Harkaway\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Gnomon-Nick-Harkaway\/dp\/0525432930\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Gnomon<\/em><\/a> was the weird, overly long sci-fi novel I had fun getting sucked into. It feels like only due to largesse did Ted Chiang release a new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Exhalation-Stories-Ted-Chiang\/dp\/1101947888\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">collection<\/a> of stories this year. It is, of course, impeccable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In terms of comics, Tom King\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Mister-Miracle-Tom-King\/dp\/1401283543\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Mister Miracle<\/em><\/a> is a refreshing take on the superhero genre (and maybe a spiritual sequel to his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Vision-Complete-Collection-Tom-King\/dp\/1302920553\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vision<\/a> run). Not unlike <i>In The Dream House<\/i>, it\u2019s a stunning mix of fitting within the confines of genre and form while also channeling pathos through every page.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">I also found the diary-style comics of Keiler Roberts to be exactly the sense of humor and reflection to take me through a sleep-deprived fall. Her most recent, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Rat-Time-Keiler-Roberts\/dp\/1927668700\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>Rat Time<\/i><\/a>, is as good a place to start as any.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For a year and a half now, a couple colleagues and I have been systematically reading select YA books published across the past two decades. As a result, I read a lot of YA I didn\u2019t like this year. I\u2019ll note that\u2014as frustrating and #problematic as I found the series\u2014the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/bookseries\/B00CKCN1SE\/ref=dp_st_0385730586\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants<\/a> offers some interesting ideas around multimodal literacies. (Years too late to be any kind of warning, I\u2019ll also note that the final book in the series is infuriating.) Also surprising, I found Sarah Dessen\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Just-Listen-Sarah-Dessen\/dp\/0142410977\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>Just Listen<\/i><\/a>\u00a0was an intriguing book for thinking about trauma, romance, and multimodal composition. I guess you could probably say that about 70% of YA books, but how many of them feature a corded house phone, a parental car phone, and a cell phone all at the same time? It&#8217;s a pretty revelatory reflection of now-discarded social uses of technology from just a decade ago. As a recent book, Jason Reynolds\u2019 novelization of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Miles-Morales-Spider-Man-Marvel-Novel\/dp\/1484788508\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Miles Morales: Spider-Man<\/em><\/a>\u00a0hit the comic\u2019s tone perfectly while still hitting the same emotional and critical notes that I\u2019ve come to consistently appreciate in Reynolds\u2019 books.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In terms of music, I\u2019ve been trying to play only female artists around the house to orient around dominant voices my kids hear singing as they grow up. We have a Luna and Max playlist that is bratty and whiny and loud. I try to cycle through that as much as I can. I\u2019m thinking of collecting the scrapbook pieces of media\u2014on that playlist or otherwise\u2014and sharing sporadically on this blog in the future. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"> FKA twigs\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/MAGDALENE-FKA-twigs\/dp\/B07XPPV55S\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>Magdalene<\/i><\/a> was my favorite album of the year.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bNqXhfUfwgc?controls=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For being my least favorite album that they\u2019ve put out, I <i>really <\/i>like Vampire Weekend\u2019s <i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qa1t5bjJbms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Father of the Bride<\/a>. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I did a lot of writing, in equal measure to Colleen Green\u2019s album length cover of Blink 182\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/colleengreen.bandcamp.com\/album\/blink-182s-dude-ranch-as-played-by-colleen-green\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>Dude Ranch<\/i><\/a> and to Sunn O)))\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Y20qC3qgpps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>Pyroclasts<\/i><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Synth-y, gloomy pop feels like the right vibe for 2019 in terms of national malaise.
