So my first book came out on Tuesday: hurray! And there's more good news...I am now able to leave my apartment, where I've been in hiding as I waited for the reviews to come in.

“Yet for quixotic reasons--namely, that I enjoyed writing obits--I had decided to scale back on articles about city life in order to write exclusively about the city's dead. For even less money. It was a strange and inexplicable career move.”
