Excited to see this project one step closer to completion. Out this summer!
My cousin gave me the best Father’s Day gift ever: a picture of my late mother that I’d never seen before.
I suppose I’m doing hotel room self-portraits now?
My old man, Willie Lee Cobb, looking scalpel sharp after the war. No longer here but I learned a thing or two from him while he was. #HFD

The bricks in the facade of this building were reclaimed from buildings that were destroyed during the massacre. The black marks are from the century-ago fire that purged the black community of Greenwood from their homes. #tulsamassacre #greenwood
On the set of a project i’m both excited and sworn to silence about. I call this one “triage.”
I had a busy summer of editing last year. This project is hitting shelves in August too.

Bet that’s not what they were expecting when the hotel said it offered “contactless delivery.” R2D2 and I rode up together earlier when he (she? It?) was delivering carryout. #socialdistancingrobot

I spoke to this author for exactly 58 minutes today. “This Life” is a startling, subtle novel written over the course of 3 years on the backs of prison admin documents by a man who has been in Angola Prison for 26 years for a $300 robbery committed when he was 19. It’s an astounding portrait of the social relationships of very different men navigating the common circumstances of incarceration. The book is out today and check out my New Yorker interview with Quntos coming next week.
