Memorial Pool
“A duck’s disappearance figures in history’s rising action only obliquely. A mass death that only enlivens a larger dramatic structure. It is setting; it is not scene.”
Music For Desks: How Deep They Lay
“In hindsight, I see the event as strange, a random act of violence from which no lesson can be drawn.”
Towards a History of the Opioid Epidemic and the Midwest-to-Florida Pill Mill Carpools
“Hope and momentum propelled us through recessions and housing crises, through breakups, deaths, wars, and other losses.”
Other Alive Creatures
“This is the Delta, where you can look and look but find no visible demarcation line between the salt waters and the fresh waters.”
The Anatomy of Melancholy
“There is a feeling like the liquid at the top of an overfilled glass, taut and quivering. I think of that feeling as my feeling, my go-to.”
Waking Dreams, Complicit Nightmares: on “Mexican Gothic” and “The Age of Surveillance Capitalism”
“Much of this is simply a lifelong tendency on my part to notice where the crowd is running and then run in the opposite direction.”
