@Millicentsomer i'm so sorry, lili—you're one of the best there is.

My job at the Washington Post was just eliminated along w/the whole Books section, most of Sports, Post Reports, and many, many others. Silver lining: my last piece was on the Muppets.

@miyasinger this is faye miller erasure

The magazine editor Margaret C. Anderson was crucial to one of the U.S.’s first literary-obscenity trials, and introduced Americans to some of modernism’s most important writers. Why has she been forgotten? @smswrites on a new biography of Anderson: theatlantic.com/books/2026/01/…

@sayanniething @newrepublic loved this movie and think i love your review even more?? a dream pairing!!

Always love writing for @newrepublic / here’s my latest! 🎞️ newrepublic.com/article/204862…

I wrote about books I loved recently for @The_Millions -- all delightful New York history, including @jonathanmahler "Gods of New York" and finally reading the Power Broker themillions.com/2025/12/a-year…

wrote about my year in reading, ft. @snjeriwambugu, martin espada, ellen bryant voigt, john berger, and more. thank you @smswrites for the invitation! themillions.com/2025/12/a-year…

When the folks at The Millions told me that I had a mere 250 words to talk about my “year in reading” I tried to use my bio to sneak in a couple of extra recommendations. “James Webster also enjoyed…” but they saw straight through it :( Anyway,

always wanted to do one of these—my year in reading in the millions: themillions.com/2025/12/a-year…

asked some very smart folks about the books they read this year—they did not disappoint! a (slightly abbreviated) year in reading 2025 is here: themillions.com/2025/12/a-year…
