I seem to have missed last week. Composed the post, forgot to hit “publish.” Apologies.

Lovely to be notified via twitter that I have a Notable essay in Best American Essays this year. My essay “Splinter” was published in the LA Review of Books (LARB) and edited by Gina Frangello. With many thanks to BAE, and thanks and gratitude to Gina and LARB. “A collection of the year’s best essays, selected by award-winning journalist and New Yorker staff writer Kathryn Schulz.” (Amazon)
Congrats to the essayists included in the volume due Nov 1! I’ve been reading them the past few days. So far, really enjoy Debra Gwartney’s “Fire and Ice.”
Here is the link to “Splinter.“
Congratulations, Eaton! This is a powerful essay, agony and suspense heightened by the form.
Thinking of divorcing Twitter myself as the changes “sink” in. That’s how they notified you? Wow. Spooky.
Best, Rasma
Merely a friend on twitter, Rasma. Thanks!
