Sloane Crosley is a wonderful writer, and I’m proud to say she was, long ago, my student. Every book she’s written is extraordinary, and watching her work develop over these years has been a great pleasure. Look her up, read her work, you’ll be glad.
This is a piece that appeared in the New Yorker in August. I’m not sure that link to the text will work but give it a try.
Dear god i listened this morning and this has been making me cry all day every time I think about it
