Strong starting points for interviews and events
Fiction under pressure
How Waiting for Ten uses compression, social tension, dialogue, humor, and timing to make a short novella feel alive.
Recovery without self-erasure
What Bliss + Blues = Bipolar opens up: bipolar disorder, ambition, family, stigma, treatment, and staying human while rebuilding a life.
Philosophy in real life
Kant, Nietzsche, virtue, freedom, discipline, beauty, and what philosophical questions look like when they leave the seminar room and start making demands.
Music, attention, and craft
From Carnegie Hall piano to jazz radio and 1990s rave energy: how listening trains rhythm, revision, and the architecture of a sentence.
