Spellbinding and atmospheric... With its quiet, dreamy bending of reality and its precise depiction of many different strains of alienation, “Ghost Music” is an evocative exploration of what it means to live fully — and the potential consequences of failing to do so.

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.

I reviewed Sheila Heti’s bonkers creation myth, Pure Colour, for the ⁦@nytimes⁩! “Heti mastered a sort of colossal smallness, transforming the molehills of mundane life into exhilaratingly steep mountains, landscapes of complexity and fascination.” https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/14/books/review/pure-colour-sheila-heti.html

For this week’s @nytmag I wrote about actress-director Rebecca Hall and her new adaptation of Nella Larsen’s “Passing,” out on ⁦@netflix⁩ very soon! This book played a large role in my own multiracial reckoning, and is sure to ignite conversations. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/20/magazine/rebecca-hall-passing.html
