Hello.

I live in various places. I grew up in San Francisco and Bolinas.

I'm a book critic at the New York Times and a contributing writer
at the New York Times Magazine. I have also written for places
like The Economist and n+1 and The Paris Review.

Since 2018 I've had a books newsletter called Read Like the Wind.
And more recently, a Substack about various things.

I have a store with my husband Teddy. And I write zines!
Love zines.

In my spare time I make art projects, play ping-pong, frolic
in the ocean, garden, and attempt to construct crosswords.
Here is one of them.
