In "Homesick," Nicholas Shapiro examines the US government's distribution of over 120,000 toxic trailers following Hurricane Katrina, their devastating health effects, and the need to create new forms of accountability and change. Read the intro for free now: buff.ly/MiN6Otd
Cover of Homesick by Nicholas Shapiro. A small white mobile home is at the center of cover image, with a single window and a pipe protruding from its base. The scene is quiet and minimal, with gravel and asphalt in the foreground and large trees framing the background. The title “Homesick” appears in large, minimalistic serif text across the bottom, with the author’s name in smaller capital letters beneath it.

The @nytimes.com says @totomcgee.bsky.social 's new book "Gone, Gone" is a stand-out among many books on the opioid crisis. Molly Young says it's "the first account I’ve found that must be respirated rather than read. Effortlessly intricate." buff.ly/HK7bzrZ

I wrote about the beguilingly peculiar 1922 movie Häxan for Atlas Obscura: An experimental documentary about witchcraft, banned by prudish American censors but still attracting new fans a century later. www.atlasobscura.com/articles/hax...

Behold the Weird Glory of Häxan, A Wild 1922 Film About Witchcraft
The ground-breaking documentary blended academic research with salacious scenes of torture and nudity. Censors weren't having it.
