      Writing Is Thinking: Martha Anne Toll in Conversation with Ed Simon

      Jul 28, 2021

      Writers write, that's what we do—that's what we need to do. Writing is how I organize my experience and make sense of the world; in some ways writing is itself synonymous with thinking for me. The post Writing Is Thinking: Martha Anne Toll in Convers

      Kanishk Tharoor on Writing Outside of Western Traditions

      Mar 16, 2017

      For years I knew Kanishk Tharoor primarily as the author of thoughtful essays about history, in the broadest sense: not just what happened in the past but also how humans have explored the past, made sense of the past, contested the past. So when I s

      Yomi Adegoke Contains Multitudes

      Mar 21, 2024

      Feb 12, 2020
