My Haggadah

Fantastic web upstart Killing the Buddha published my meditation on Passover at sundown last night. Read it here.

Seder, after all, means order. More from the Tepman family gatherings coming soon, with exercises in portraiture and storytelling.

The End of Ice – and the Beginning of a New Kind of Literary Journalism

Come on down April 16 to 20 Cooper Square, my old NYU stomping grounds, and meet some smart folks championing the VQR, including Lawrence Weschler, Ted Conover, William Finnegan, and editor Ted Genoways. (Read Ted's Batman story from the February Outside Magazine here, and Weschler and Conover's contributions to the current VQR here and here.)

Considering the illustrious company, I won't be saying much, but I will have a chance to talk about reporting and writing my story on the exhumation of victims of paramilitary violence in Colombia, published by VQR this winter.
