I'm on tour with my new book, Either/Or! US + UK event dates here: elifbatuman.com/events/ Pls check back for fall dates (if we live that long) in NYC + elsewhere. (The NYC events sold out in an unexpected way.) I'm sorry Twitter makes me nuts. Ty for checking my lame website!
Hello, Twittersphere! Sorry about Elon Musk. Just wanted to let you know that I started a Substack. I don't understand if the links work or not, but it’s called The Elif Life. You can find it at eliflife dot Substack dot com. Thank you!
Now I am going to go hide in the wilderness and avoid social media. I will periodically update the News page on my website - just like I think this bear (or his publicist) probably does. Elif's news: elifbatuman.com/news/ Bear photo source: bearstudy.org/website/update…
Unrelatedly, sometimes when I am feeling sad I just remember that there is a character in The Golden Bowl named Fanny Assingham.

got in a "who's on first loop" for like 8 minutes w a supermarket checker who was like "is that a meyer lemon" + I just kept saying "yes that's my lemon"
Will Hollywood ever be brave enough to celebrate my full-bodied love for a half-fish half-artichoke? Doubtful.
Some of the biggest baguettes out there belong to Idiot readers 🥖

1. I really dug this story "Missing" by Hiromi Kawakami. 2. Additionally, it made me really want a "pipe fox." 3. "Pipe foxes" are a thing.
