• “Jesse Andrews on ‘Me and Earl’ and the Book-Banning Girls in Tallahassee, Florida,” Deadline, July 18, 2023. This was a response to the banning of Me and Earl and the Dying Girl from school libraries by, among many other groups, Moms For Liberty.

• “Storytelling Won The Election,” The Awl, November 11, 2016. This was an immediate reaction to, and attempt to understand, Donald Trump winning the 2016 presidential election.

• “How To Be Werner Herzog,” The Awl, September 6, 2016. This is a review of the MasterClass™ on filmmaking given by one of my favorite directors, Werner Herzog. Spoiler alert, I enjoyed it but did not learn a ton.
