I spoke with @mattaikins about his remarkable and important book, The Naked Don't Fear the Water, for @thebafflermag Aikins went undercover as an Afghan refugee, chronicling the inhumanity of border regimes. One of the best migration books. https://t.co/ZekV2bJFkV

Just finished @JohnVaillant's masterful and scintillating book, The Tiger. I've read Vailan'ts other two books, and loved them, but was just floored by the beauty and wisdom of The Tiger. https://t.co/qfQp1gNgHu

A huge loss for us all. His work, with @nomuros in No One Is Illegal, changed my life. His brilliant, foundational, Prisoners of the American Dream, is almost biblical in endlessly providing. RIP Mike Davis. https://t.co/fCRaowjmZR
