I wrote for @Harpers about two of the people who have influenced me the most, @bobdylan and my mother

In the May issue: all the news that's fit to click; on (possibly) being Bob Dylan's son; Trump's last-minute killing spree; vaccine visas; fiction by Rachel Cusk; and so much more. harpers.org/archive/2021/0…

My mother was the most unique person I have known. She died in 2017. In 2021, I wrote a memoir essay about her for @Harpers: harpers.org/archive/2021/0… On Mother’s Day, excited to share I have written our story as a novel, out next summer with @penguinpress I love you, Mom.

proud to have joined 80 writers at @PENamerica's Emergency World Voices Congress of Writers @UN last Friday. “A poem will not stop a bullet, a novel cannot defuse a bomb,” @SalmanRushdie said. But writers can still “sing the truth, and name the lies.” nytimes.com/2022/05/15/art…

“One does best to separate an artist from his work. The artist is only the precondition of his work, the womb, the soil, sometimes the dung and manure out of which it grows." –– Nietzsche telling on himself (Genealogy of Morals)


I have a short story in the @TAReviewofBooks: “In the Palace," a misadventure of love and lebensraum in contemporary Berlin (certainly not drawn from personal experience). It may offend, so I am grateful to TARB for publishing the day before Yom Kippur. bit.ly/3lqSiil

This week at TARB we're focusing on short fiction. In the first of two pieces, we have a short story from our very own Sam Sussman (@SamSussman1), a misadventure in love and lebensraum set in contemporary Berlin: bit.ly/3lqSiil



The story of 9/11 is contrast between collective grief for American lives and collective indifference for Iraqi, Afghani, and Pakistani lives. I wrote about this for @jdforward forward.com/culture/409913…


Anyone want two tix to the Mets game tonight? (yes, I'm embrassed to have Mets tickets, long story). Happy to sell below value, or give them for free to any Mets fan who will admit they root for the wrong New York team.


I joined @PeaceNowUS to talk about how grassroots activism can respond to the gap between the stated values of American foreign policy and the realities it too often supports.

Check out our newest episode of PeaceCast with @SamSussman1 of @ExtendPrograms at the link below! peacenow.libsyn.com/203-extend-wit…

the Taliban's October 2001 proposal to hand over Osama bin Laden in exchange for end to US invasion is starting to look like a pretty good deal


I spoke with the @TAReviewofBooks about the legacies of historical injustice, the inedibility of German food, and how literature can help us imagine alternative political possibilities. Excited to join TARB as a Contributing Editor. tarb.co.il/introducing-sa…
