A rave for my new novel in the Los Angeles Times!! Feels so good to be recognized by my hometown paper — especially for a novel that deals directly with LA. Also this description is absolutely perfect: “His plot goes off the rails — and it works.” LOL, buckle up sweeties. As always, you can order at the link in my bio. And you can read the full review in the LA Times!

Here I am casually coming for all cis white heterosexuals hehehe. But seriously, wouldn’t the future be a more fabulous place if we were all trans and/or queer? I discuss this and my new book It’s Not the End of the World with the brilliant @firstdraftadow for a live taping of her ionic First Draft podcast. Listen wherever you get your podcasts. And you can purchase my book at the link in my bio!

Aspen I love you! I recently traveled to the most gorgeous place on earth (aka Aspen) to record a live episode of the brilliant podcast First Draft: A Dialogue on Writing. (Stream it wherever you get your pods!) It was such an honor to join @firstdraftadow for such a in depth convo about my new book It’s Not the End of the World (avail at my link in bio). Special thanks to @aspenout for sponsoring the event and @tacaw_org for hosting in their beautiful theater. It was such a joy to be in Aspen, speaking with so many wonderful people about literature, our future, and how to find hope in our modern American nightmare. First Draft has hosted just about every living writer worth reading, and it was such an honor to join the ranks of so many of my favorite authors from Torrey Peters to Ed Park to Lorrie Moore and so many more. Thank you Aspen!

Are you a Hollywood executive who is tired of making straight white flops starring Sydney Sweeney? The Hollywood Reporter has a perfect solution to your problem… 👀👀👀

Goodreads go off!! Here are just a few of my favorite reader reviews from Goodreads. These made me think, made me LOL, and made me wonder: what is “human extinction class?!??” Thanks for all the love everyone! ❤️❤️❤️

A scintillating evening @eastendbooksptown with Adam Roberts “Food Person” & Jonathan Parks-Ramage “It’s Not the End of the World!” Signed copies of both books available. A comedy of manners about cooking, ambition and friendship in “Food Person,” meets a biting wit, brutal gore, primal sex, and unexpected catharsis in “It’s Not the End of the World!” It was a wildly entertaining discussion between two authors and friends! Food Person A delectable comedy of manners about cooking, ambition, and friendship set in the food world as a young and socially awkward writer takes a job ghostwriting the cookbook for a famous (and famously chaotic) Hollywood starlet. Isabella Pasternack is a food person. It’s Not the End of the World Shot through with biting wit, brutal gore, primal sex, and unexpected catharsis, It’s Not the End of the World is a nerve-shredding roller coaster of a novel that will leave readers shocked, heartbroken, and inspired to question their most firmly held convictions. What happens when our current battles with climate change, capitalism, and white supremacy are pushed to their breaking points? And how can we find hope? We even had a celebrity in the audience, Actor/Author Ryan O’Connell. Look for an event next Summer with Ryan @eastendbooksptown with his new book. Ryan starred in Special on Netflix, which is based on his memoir, I’m Special: And Other Lies We Tell Ourselves. He’s also written for other TV shows like Will & Grace, Awkward, and Peacock’s Queer as Folk revival, which he also starred in. Ryan O’Connell is set to release a new book. The book’s collection will include “soul-bearing, funny, and provocative essays about overcoming one’s limitations, and the ones others place on you, and leading a fully gay life.” @jprampage @amateurgourmet @eastendbooksbostonseaport @jgpesq @ryanoconn #queer #queeractor #queerauthors #queerownedbookstore #eastendbooksptown
