So this, Irma thought, was the Parties.

“I have a Mexican jersey too” Abdoulaye said. “I put it on if my client has a Latino name. Or Colombia. This one,” he said, gesturing to his USMNT jersey, “I wear this one for Americans. It helps with...

The Illinois Jacquet’s 1956 sextet rendition of “Harlem Nocturne” wasn’t simply playing but occurring, happening. Jimmy Jones’s piano glowed like the sun’s last gleam, taking the day with it. I…

Her great themes were timeless, the stuff of the ancients’ ancients: perception, eternity, travel, the problem of evil. She repudiated Aristotle, denied the primordial split between myth and natural p...

It’s been nearly a year since n+1 film critic A. S. Hamrah’s book Last Week in End Times Cinema—a study of bad news in the movie industry over the course of 365 days—was published. What’s happened in ...

As familiar as they are, these orange maps can only depict a rehearsal, a prelude. In the pre-vaccine moment the Covid maps were terrifying, but examining them, you could imagine a future after orange...

“This success then drove me to want something more, bigger, so next I funded a hospital, or really it was just a wing of a hospital. But walking past it gave me a different feeling than walking past m...

When I first met David Morales it was December 2019, and I was standing in David’s ill-lit bachelor apartment as he announced to a small holiday party full of socialists that he intended to run for st...

Jace came back from vacation weird: He was now peaceful. When he learned of Vote Drunk, he clapped me and Mark Uptick on the backs and rubbed Ava-Claire’s shoulders and said he’d left the agency in go...

When Buchdahl professes that she can understand “how even white men in America are feeling,” she unwittingly reveals a structuring affinity between the politics of white reaction and her own anti-anti...

We have public housing, but it has never been as well designed, built, or maintained. We have limited-equity co-ops built by limited-dividend companies, but we built far fewer of them, and we allowed ...

As I listened to Ahern in his small office, I was struck by how much he knew about, and how much time he spent thinking about, immigration detention. He was a competent and civic-minded public servant...

I had hidden everything. Monitors were not allowed to talk about themselves with residents. We could lose pay, placement, and good standing. You can find me in the DSM, I said.

Mom’s still here. I can call her and talk to her, though not about French medical history. Not about anything, really — we mostly exchange affective states and appreciate the fact of each other’s bein...

It can feel like listening to Spotify, reading this way. A patchy sampling, in which huge expanses of history are available but unintuitively organized, likely to result in having heard rarities and m...

Hi! Where have I been? Last time we heard from me, Miss Translation, I was on a rocket blasting out of Iowa. I hosted two events, one in New York and one in Chicago. Was I forced into hiding because o...

I became a Sonny Rollins fan on my 13th birthday, when my dad took me for the first time to his favorite record store in Portland, Oregon. He gave me $50, which in 1987, netted me twelve LPs. One was ...

At 7 AM on a Saturday in September 2025, I participated in a mass-casualty simulation drill held in the firefighter training area of O’Hare International Airport.

If Gass entertained any escape fantasies, however, The Tunnel does not indulge them. It’s the big, the biggest, Man Alone in a House story. It’s an anti–systems novel, uninterested in conspiracist lin...

We could not have imagined the reality that was coming. Forget escalating: In a few months, even the little our crew had done before falling apart — the cold emails and messages to weapons workers; th...
