Proud and excited that today we are releasing the first-ever audiobook of THE LAST SHOT by Darcy Frey, 30 years later, with a new introduction by Darcy. Classic of immersive journalism and the best thing ever written about college sports and precarity. https://t.co/cTwabnHzhf
It took 10 and a half years, but this book finally earned back its advance today. If you were waiting to buy a copy until you knew I'd get a cut of your payment, now's your chance. https://t.co/BlTHeBeTvx
New from me in @NYTmag: a complete year by year breakdown of the failures of the Gilgo Beach murder investigation. Everything they needed, they had almost on Day 1. What took so long to find a suspect who was in plain sight, exactly where they thought he’d always be?
“Lost Girls,” @bobkolker’s masterpiece, is the gold standard for how to write about crime victims.
The news that these killings may have been solved, and that a suspect is now in custody…there are no words. Hoping the families of the victims get answers.

“Black people around the world are the center, they’re not the margin, and the cultural artifacts you create matter.”

"Of all human lots for a person of sensibility, that of an obscure freelance in literature or journalism is, I think, the most discouraging," —Stephen Crane
"I hate journalists. There is nothing in them but tittering jeering emptiness. They have all made what Dante calls the Great Refusal. . . . The shallowest people on the ridge of the earth." --William Butler Yeats
For the @NYTmag I wrote about the amazing Yiyun Li, whose latest novel THE BOOK OF GOOSE is out on 9/20 from @fsgbooks! It was a masterclass in the particular way in which Li is able to render life-shattering loss with startling grace and clarity.
