I’ve been asked by a few folks to write about or comment on what’s happening right now and have declined because my thoughts are still forming. But some things I’ve written and talked about in the past may have some resonance with this moment, for any who are interested:
my 2018 review of Max Ritvo’s letters with Sarah Ruhl during his cancer experience for Slate
my 2012 essay on madness and creativity for The Economist
from 2017, a piece about how I conceived a new play during a difficult time for The Arts Desk
A 2019 discussion with Trevor Oswalt where I detail my experience of serious illness
A 2017 podcast with Rob Icke where we discuss violence and my work
My 2018 review of Cynthia Haven’s biography of René Girard for LARB
