Imani PerryAlex MarI'm a great admirer of @imaniperry's work, & her book truly deserves the NBA for Nonfiction. Perhaps just as incredible is seeing the real deep joy her win is bringing so many fellow writers, readers, colleagues: extraordinary. Not many create work that inspires that response.

First Reformed
Paul SchraderAlex MarStill thinking about Ethan Hawke's performance in "First Reformed." And the fact that Paul Schrader came back & made that film. So few people make work at that level, & of that intensity & laser-focus, this late in their career (or at all).
