This is the review I've been waiting for:

Cosmic Librarians, you've heard a reflection on Diane Oliver in our U.S. short story season; now you can read @GabrielJBump on the subject of Oliver and her stories:
The friend? James Joyce
me, reading a friend's work-in-progress: wait, so did you choose all these words and put them in this order, or is it more or less random?
"When people say they use my podcast to fall asleep, it feels slightly insulting," says @NYerFiction's Deborah Treisman on the @_CosmicLibrary_. But fiction and podcasts work in dreamy ways; hear about it all in the finale of this season on short stories: link.chtbl.com/ladQno0e

Get ready for a very American conclusion to our season on American fiction. How American? At one point the novelist Justin Taylor exclaims, "I'm back, baby! I'm rebooted!" Nobody said such things in the Finnegans Wake season. (But it's not so far from a summary of the Wake.)
This week: @NYerFiction's Deborah Treisman, @tayari, @my19thcentury, Becca Rothfeld, and Andrew Kahn. Hear about The NYer's glittering fiction archive—a "very, very diverse and interesting and jumbled-up catalog," in Kahn's words. @lithub and everywhere! link.chtbl.com/ladQno0e

I've just been listening to the new season! Big "Wakefield" fan
