Paul La Farge, one of my dearest friends, really more like a brother, has passed away. For those who have yet to read his books, perhaps start with The Night Ocean. He was as generous and witty with his prose as he was with his friends. Those who knew him truly loved him.

I was lucky enough to talk to Megan Thee Stallion for the @NYTmag annual music issue. Of all the things we discussed, here’s what moved me most. She wants to use her newfound resources to open an assisted living facility. I DIED. nytimes.com/interactive/2020…

Giles Harvey’s essay on Ben Lerner in the @NYTmag is one of the finest pieces of literary journalism I’ve read in a very long time. nytimes.com/interactive/2019…

Is ‘Fredo’ a Movie Reference or an Ethnic Slight? Depends Who You’re Yelling At (Published 2019)

A passing reference to “The Godfather” can sound like one thing to pop-culture buffs, something else entirely to Italian Americans.

Mannequin Pussy: Patience

On their third record, the Philly band has achieved a balance between seething chaos and quietly devastating vulnerability. It’s one of the best punk rock records of the year.

I spent some time with Yorgos Lanthimos, who makes my favorite hilariously unsettling films, and wrote this profile about him: nyti.ms/2DB9TQg
Yorgos Lanthimos’s Polarizing Visions (Published 2018)

Yorgos Lanthimos’s Polarizing Visions (Published 2018)

The Greek director has drawn acclaim — but also intense backlash — for his primal depiction of contemporary life.

When you work with the director Cary Fukunaga, you realize that you have to just let go and let Cary be Cary, and trust his instincts and his process (however taxing that process may be). nyti.ms/2CRc1V0

Self-loathing is amazing, it reminds you how much of your self is not a choice, but also that you must have two selves, one to be hated and one to hate with
