Honored and somewhat mystified to have won a National Magazine Award for my @nyreviewofarch.bsky.social piece on Paul Rudolph alongside the great @monchaux.bsky.social, who won for two of his NYRA pieces (on Rudolph and the new Frick). Architectural criticism forever! nyra.nyc/articles/meg...
Megalopolis
My longing for LOMEX occupies a kind of double counterfactual—<EM>what if</EM>, but <EM>what if not in that way</EM>—not wholly dissimilar from Rudolph’s own.

[Anonymous] sent me several questions about translation. She worried that they were somehow “too remedial,” but they were actually something worse: ancient, unanswerable debates. Take this one: “How m...

n+1@nplusonemag.com · 8mo ago“Hamrah does his part to resist neocapitalist amnesia with clarity, force, and a caustic yet romantic wit worthy of Billy Wilder.” Tremendous review of @hamrahrama.bsky.social’s ALGORITHM OF THE NIGHT and LAST WEEK IN END TIMES CINEMA: brooklynrail.org/2025/12/film...

I had the great honor of writing the introduction to the @enchantedlion.bsky.social edition of Gianni Rodari's Adventures of Cipollino, translated by Antony Shugaar. This expands on that introduction! Huge thanks to Max Nelson for letting me dig into kids' books, produce, and the joy of the absurd.
The New York Review of Books@nybooks.com · 9mo ago“It is impossible not to extrapolate freely from Cipollino’s dense materiality, not to transpose our own urgent concerns onto its sly inventions. That we’re mostly dealing with fruits and vegetables shouldn’t discourage…generative projection.” — @markkrotov.bsky.social
