I write for classical reasons.
Living in San Francisco, I look to the East Coast and the Old World to root me in traditions of rigorous self-inquiry as I buck the mental stampedes of Startup-land.
My subjects are
San Francisco and Europe.
My Substack essays and interviews may highlight a Béla Tarr film screening at the City's oldest cinema, contrast two French films on modern depression, or take aim at politics bent on destroying long-honored transatlantic ties. I love exploring the tension between continuity and upheaval, and who we're becoming in the midst of it.
