A review of “Infinity Blues,” by Ryan Adams. Back in the day, when I was writing a lot more about music, I covered an Adams show out in Somerville.
In the Virginia Quarterly Review
I have a short piece on “Brooklyn,” by Colm Tóibín. About halfway down this page. In the fall issue, which should hit stands soon, I review Jonathan Lethem’s “Chronic City”; in the winter issue, I’ll be writing about “Mathilda Savitch.”
In PRINT magazine
A piece on Adrian Tomine and Yoshihiro Tatsumi. But it’s not online. Sorry.
In the Barnes and Noble Review
The B+N Review got a new site, and it looks like some of the old content is lost. My essay on Ninni Holmqvist’s “The Unit” is now hosted on the central B+N site.
In the Monitor
An older piece on John Cheever.
In Tablet
An old essay on Hans Fallada that I wrote for Nextbook – which subsequently became Tablet.
