So this week, we chat with Jonathan Edward Durham, a very popular Instagrammer who calls himself on Instagram a generalized anxiety wunderkind, and he speaks with wit about what it's like to live in 2026.

I had been following him for a while when I learned that he had published a book called Winterset Hollow, but it has now been published by Hachette, and you can find it wherever you find books.

The novel is about friends who set off on a pilgrimage to the estate of an author who wrote a beloved childhood story.

And-

That one sounds fun.
