The Face of Seung-Hui Cho

Excellent news for people who like great writing: Wesley Yang's brilliant 2008 essay for n+1 "The Face of Seung-Hui Cho" is now available for download as a Kindle Single. It'll run you $1.99, which isn't much.

The essay slightly defies description, but broadly speaking it's a meditation on Virginia Tech spree killer Seung-Hui Cho leading to broader meditations on American identity. I raved when I read it three years ago and I stand by the praise.

I also see that Yang has a newish piece out "Paper Tigers" that I need to go read right now.
