An essay I originally wrote for substack about seeing Tom Hanks at the airport has been republished at Post Road. Content warning: this essay features elaborate descriptions of Tom Hanks in airport situations that have caused some readers discomfort. www.postroadmag.com/2025/01/01/4...

Just invented a new way to eat called the Two Forks method. Use it like a big shovel or like chopsticks. Very versatile and more elegant than you’d think. Perfect for things that are arduous to stab.

given annually to the best-named annual book prize
and every year it should go to the Booker Prize."
