This blog is all about words because they matter, they influence, they entertain and when you put them down on a page in a meaningful order, they acquire permanence. Contained here is my writing over the past 10+ years, primarily book reviews over the past ~5 years, and I also have a book review podcast, Talking Nonfiction, available on Apple or Spotify.

Writing on Edward Snowden - by Barton Gellman & the NYT Editorial Board
Two interesting pieces of late on NSA whistle-blower Edward Snowden (who was also profiled along with Glenn Greenwald in an excellent Rolling Stone feature) were "Edward Snowden, after months of NSA revelations, says his mission’s accomplished" by Barton Gellman for the Washington Post and a New York Times Editorial Board opinion "Edward Snowden, Whistle-Blower" arguing for the U.S. Government to reduce charges against Snowden.
