Hello. I live in various places. I grew up in San Francisco and Bolinas. I am a book critic at the New York Times. (But I'm on leave right now.) I am also a contributing writer at the New York Times Magazine, and have written for places like The Believer and n+1. Since 2018 I've had a books newsletter called Read Like the Wind. I have a store with my husband Teddy. I co-authored a book called D C-T! which came out in 2018 from Penguin Press. It is co-written with Joana Avillez. In my spare time I make art projects, play ping-pong, frolic in the ocean, garden, and attempt to make crossword puzzles. Here is one of them.
