Why is Say Nothing the best show on TV right now? Obsessed with learning about this terrible tragic history that I honestly should’ve known more about before now.

Really amazing to see my midlife essay collection, The Body Is A Temporary Gathering Place at Autofocus Books, on this list alongside some literary luminaries. Honored.
