I sold my short story collection! Couldn’t be happier to be working with Allie Merola and the team at Viking, I feel like I found my dream home. Thanks to my wise and tenacious agent Bill Clegg for everything.

I love this piece by @togglecoat in @Harpers on the new Lerner novel, and on what we wish our phones could do for us

@char_leelee @Harpers 😌

“The consensus is essentially that women are subhuman,” she says, “and I mean that quite literally: subrational, non-agentic, cattle.” New in @NYMag: I spoke to women in, around, and leaving MAGA about the right’s unabashed embrace of misogyny.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

The restaurant where my brother works just got four stars in the Times!! So very proud of him, here he is presenting a box of mushrooms 🥲

When the playwright Tom Stoppard died, “he left behind a theatre changed by his blistering intellect and blazing success, the heat and light that made the rest of our English-language garden grow,” Helen Shaw writes. newyorker.com/culture/postsc…

it rocks

always read @SamAdlerBell, and especially here and now

Good news if you like it when I write about Jews, the labor movement, socialism, Zionism, psychoanalysis, neoconservatives, and NYC baby. Bad news for the rest of you.

@MatthewSitman thank Matt 😘

As it happens, a few years ago @togglecoat wrote an incredible joint review essay about Vanessa Springora’s memoir, Consent, and the then-new documentary Allen v. Farrow; it includes, I think, the very best last line of any essay I edited at the mag, just brutal! (Link below)

As the architects of Biden's disastrous Gaza policy attempt to revise history, I spoke to several of the 15 Biden officials who resigned over the genocide @NYMag “It’s all been calculated the entire time, then and now. It’s all for their own political power and greed.”

Despite its fascinating setting, Kate Riley’s “Ruth,” which follows a woman born into an insular Christian commune, has little to say about community or faith, Hannah Gold writes. nyer.cm/GvIlo09

I wrote about the sudden moral wakefulness over Gaza, whether the dam is breaking, and why now. @NYMag
