“A lot of design is taking things out of the frame." – Jack Fisk, world-builder extraordinaire...and subject of this fascinating profile.

For @NYTmag I profiled Jack Fisk, the master production designer behind the films of Terrence Malick, Paul Thomas Anderson, David Lynch, Alejandro G. Iñárritu and now, with Killers of the Flower Moon, Martin Scorsese. (Photos by the great Alec Soth) nytimes.com/2023/10/05/magaz…

I'm not sure I could name another album that more perfectly captured the mix of angst and ambition that I felt in my youth. "Go" and "Rearviewmirror" still make me want to hit the road. And "Indifference"? Well... it holds up. Happy 30th anniversary to Vs. We've grown old.

I made a podcast! It's about Vladimir Putin's childhood and Soviet baby boomers. It's a translation key that most Americans don't have. And it features my dad. Listen here! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Years ago, I wrote about Tyrone Hood, a Chicago man in jail for a murder he didn't commit: t.ly/3QYWY. After @NewYorker published the piece, Hood was released and later exonerated. He sued Chicago and has just been awarded a $17.5M settlement: t.ly/MvwGF
Crime Fiction

Crime Fiction

Did the Chicago police coerce witnesses into pinpointing the wrong man for homicide—allowing a serial killer to commit more murders? Nicholas Schmidle tells the tragic story of Tyrone Hood.
