What Does Writing Smell Like?

It is, perhaps, a question for the ages. Read my Shouts & Murmurs piece in The New Yorker for some thoughts.

Since its publication a few have suggested “old bookstore,” “debt,” “despair,” and “dead armadillo.” All fair.

I will say this: Writing the words, “Read my Shouts & Murmurs piece in The New Yorker,” smells pretty great.

Thank you all, as always, for reading.
