Emily Andrews on Maryanne Wolf's READER, COME HOME for Forma Journal: "Advances in neurology have shown us how the plasticity of the brain provides a way to reverse negative neural patterns. Wolf suggests that this is also possible for the reading brain." formareview.substack.com/p/maryanne-wol…

Trying to be casual, but I’m too much a fan girl of Prufrock to keep my cool. I’m honored to join my fellow editor Sean Johnson as a part of my favorite culture round up.

I chatted with the great John Wilson for Forma Journal's summer issue and it's now online through the FORMA Review. We talked about the job of the book critic and the beauty of miscellany for book-lovers (among other things). formareview.substack.com/p/the-freedom-…

ICYMI, we ranked the 20 best Agatha Christie novels for Forma Journal in honor of her 130th birthday last week. One thing I discovered: Cover design for Christie's canon has been WILD over the last 90 years. formajournal.substack.com/p/agatha-chris…
