I’m a writer, journalist, and filmmaker. I’m based in Berlin, Germany and Cleveland, Ohio. I’m writing a book about fugitive and non-state spaces for Farrar, Straus and Giroux. My web site is here.
I write for The New York Times Magazine and The New Yorker, among many other publications.
This newsletter is where I write informally about published work, my book-in-progress, and things I’m reading or watching. If you’re looking for a place to start, here’s a pair of essays on the writing process: the first about note-taking, or memory, and the second about publishing, or forgetting.
