Vulture is excited to announce the National Book Foundations 5 Under 35 list for 2019.

That struggle really interests me.
Im still interested in blending fact and fiction.
So it has a very specific resonance for the present day in the sense that this struggle is ongoing.
Addiction itself is pretty boring.
Which sums it up pretty well.
Were the most diverse city in the States, so thats just not happening.
Nor would I want it to.
And thats pretty fucking difficult enough, at least for me but loads of fun, too.
(Spoiler: They do not all find it.)
Its a love thats as intellectually intriguing to me as it is emotionally rewarding.

I cant wait for people to read this book.
