Here's Wesley Morris at his best, pithiest, most delightful on the great performances of this year. Specifically, the specificity and oddness that makes them so nytimes.com/interactive/20…

A beautiful piece of writing about the relationship between disgust and desire, fear and dance, trust and change by ⁦@CCooperJones⁩ nytimes.com/2024/04/19/mag…

With others, I salute #HelenVendler, her rare mind for poetry, esp. #JohnAshbery, & her good heart. I have story or two, but nothing to match this, from #RitaDove:

RIP Helen Vender, remarkable teacher and keeper of the flame of poetry. Her class, “Poets, Poems, Poetry,” shaped the rest of my life. nytimes.com/2024/04/24/boo…

Have been working on this story about Ezra Edelman's brilliant Prince documentary for a long time. It's story about a suffering genius, Edelman's huge effort to piece together who he really was, and the forces that are stopping the world from seeing it. nytimes.com/2024/09/08/mag…

This piece by Sam Graham-Felsen about how Philip Roth managed to complete American Pastoral doubles as a beautiful essay on how great novelists alchemize tiny, authenticating details (the stitching of a glove) into the deepest art nytimes.com/2024/09/27/boo…

In this week’s Magazine: I wrote about how streaming television completely scrambled our ability to make sense of our own culture. nytimes.com/2024/10/07/mag…

Calling all Philip Roth fans. This is really delightful.

This was a really fun podcast to be on. Re-reading The Ghost Writer reminded me why I love Roth, as well as why I find him infuriating, both of which I tried but surely failed to fully articulate. I also appreciated co-panelist Andrew & host Sam's thoughts, even where we argued.

Incredible life highlight hearing Joni Mitchell at the Hollywood Bowl and getting to talk about her performance and her late style with ⁦Wesley Morris⁩ podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

This is a wonderful venture—all the episodes have been excellent

How fun to work with my old colleague Sasha Weiss on a Daily Ep. It’s a good one - beautiful, infuriating, tragic. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

A pleasure and a hoot to talk with Merve Emre about the art of editing (and writer-editor intimacy) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

Love this piece by my husband Sam Graham-Felsen about how hard it is to maintain close male friendships in middle age and what that’s really about. It’s funny and revealing might make you cry nytimes.com/2025/05/25/mag…

I am a complete basketball nincompoop and yet nothing pleases me more than Sam Anderson's basketball writing. nytimes.com/2025/06/05/mag…

I had a lot of fun talking with Sam Anderson and Wesley Morris about Philip Roth's nonfiction masterpiece, Patrimony open.spotify.com/episode/5m8WtM…
