Other Writing

I Wrote About How White Writers of Crime Fiction Have Failed to Critically Appraise the American Police

“Why are whites repeatedly rediscovering a fact that people of color have always known: that the police are often as dangerous as the criminals they allegedly protect us from? As a writer of crime fiction, I’ve become convinced that white writers like me bear some responsibility.”

I Wrote For Crimereads about the Wonder and Horror of Queerness, Texas and Pseudonyms

"How could anyone possibly be accepted as two people at once?"

I Wrote About the Experience of Living in a Serodiscordant Relationship in a pre-Prep World

“The pills are $2,000 every month. The doctor visits never end. And there's always the possibility the virus could spread. Otherwise, it's not so different.”

I Wrote About the Cult of Diligent Shoppers Who Review Avant-Garde Classical Music on Amazon

Who would write, almost daily, 1,000-word overviews of composers and music that most of the general population has never heard of and probably don't care to know about? Inside the weird world of Amazon's most hardcore reviewers and their quest for the best.
