I spent a few days with Miranda July in March. We talked about her new book, relationships, and the ever-changing self. We also went on a drive and met two strangers from Facebook Marketplace about a rug
Lives of the Saints is the sort of perfect book that i am always giving away and then having to repurchase new copies of and @msolis14 captures so much in this profile of the patron saint of wastrel youth https://t.co/AlwrVbvE3x

My father was a Nazi hunter, until he was killed in the Lockerbie bombing, when I was four. Now, a man will stand trial for the crime. What does it mean, after nearly forty years, to seek justice for the crimes of history? My new cover story for @NYTmag: https://t.co/9eqtzUqdTA
