I've never read a book like Stay True, which feels like a quiet new landmark in Asian American literature. My profile of hua hsu for New York Magazine: vulture.com/article/hua-hs…

This is really wonderful

Fantastic, thoughtful profile of hua hsu by Ryu Spaeth. He writes that Hsu's career is "evidence that, while it may not be possible or even desirable to transcend race, it doesn’t have to wholly define a person either." vulture.com/article/hua-hs…

The obvious but oddly overlooked theme of this World Cup is that the caliber of play has been extraordinary — which might be a problem. A long look back at the tournament as it winds down for New York Magazine nymag.com/intelligencer/…

My dispatch from a long and painful night for New York Magazine: nymag.com/intelligencer/…

“What I suspect,” he told me, “is that American media in general thinks of itself as separate from the ends and goals of American power. And I don’t think that’s true.” on our moral responsibility: nymag.com/intelligencer/…

For the latest issue of New York Magazine I profiled Ta-Nehisi Coates, who talked to me about Israel and Palestine, the failures of the media, and what Gaza means for the civil rights movement nymag.com/intelligencer/…

“‘The fact of the matter is,’ he said, ‘that kid up at Columbia, whatever dumb shit they’re saying, whatever slogan I would not say that they would use, they are more morally correct than some motherfuckers that have won Pulitzer Prizes…’” nymag.com/intelligencer/…

.New York Magazine's latest cover feature by Ryu Spaeth is a profile of Ta-Nehisi Coates, whose writing fueled a reckoning on race in America, and who now, with his new book The Message, wants to change the way we think about Israel and Palestine: nymag.com/press/article/…

"There is, too, the problem of reporting on as subject on which American officials have remained almost entirely uniform, steadfastly supporting Israel. And American mainstream journalism, Coates says, defers to American authority." Essential reading: nymag.com/intelligencer/…
