It's Summer 2024

And time to start a newsletter.

Dear Readers and Friends,

Now that we’ve all scrolled to the end of our feeds and abandoned social media, I’m starting this free newsletter for people who would like to know about new writing I have published in The New Yorker and elsewhere. I may also be good for an occasional mini-dispatch from the field or some book recommendations.

The big news at the moment is that my third book, Health and Safety, will be published on September 17. For now, it is available for pre-order from Amazon, Bookshop.org, or your local independent bookstore. Closer to publication, I’ll send updates with details about public events in New York, Los Angeles, and other cities.

Health and Safety is a memoir spanning 2016 to 2020. It’s about my interest in drugs, electronic music, and nightlife, the political reporting I was doing around the country in those years, and the shutdowns and protests of 2020.

Thank you as ever for reading and for your support, and more soon!
