“Vandets Pagt” (Danish for “The Covenant of Water”) is on the bestseller list in Denmark! I’m in Copenhagen at a massive book festival called the “Bogforum.” https://t.co/zHCZBugEpV 3K views · 44 likes · 3 reposts · 4 replies Open on X →

@abe_verghese @peterblackstock @groveatlantic @Center4Fiction Dear @abe_verghese, it was, for certain, strong editorial guidance ... I found myself intentionally slowing down when I reached the last 100 pages. I didn't want it to end! Thanks for such a phenomenal read, every page 89 views · 7 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

@abe_verghese @peterblackstock @groveatlantic @Center4Fiction Great to see and hear you at the Center for Fiction. You're not only an impressive writer -- but also an impressive speaker and reader. I may have to listen to the book after reading it! 184 views · 6 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

I should tattoo my editor @peterblackstock’s unforgettable words on my body: “This book needs to be as many pages as it needs to be.” His genius and his quiet confidence made COVENANT what it is. A writer gets too much credit. https://t.co/aQBUzfk35w 62.5K views · 585 likes · 37 reposts · 48 replies Open on X →
