Literature
Writing & Ideas
Reviews, essays, and long-form pieces on the books and ideas that define our time.
## What We Read
Literature, for us, is anything written with intention. That includes novels and essays, but also manifestos, policy papers, and the occasional well-crafted thread. We care about *how* ideas are communicated as much as *which* ideas.

## Our Critical Standard
We don't publish summaries. A review from Follow or Bounce will tell you what a book *does*, not just what it's *about*. We're interested in argument, structure, and implication.
We're also honest about books we think are overrated. A publication that praises everything means nothing.
