Hello! Greetings from social distancing! Jarrett Fuller, here. In case you’ve forgotten — and you very well might have, it’s been a while — you are getting this email because you signed up for a newsletter about my work, photography, reading, food, and other interesting ideas. If it turns out this isn’t your thing, you can simply hit the unsubscribe link at the bottom of this email. But if it is your thing, cool! I’m glad you are here and would love to hear from you, feel free to introduce yourself by replying to this email.
The beginning of the year was overwhelming with a variety of projects, big and small (read: this is why there were no email updates) and March was looking equally busy. Then, overnight, everything was cancelled and my calendar is looking strikingly bare. My classes have gone online-only for the rest of the semester, a talk I was supposed to give this week was cancelled, podcast interviews need to be rescheduled, and other meetings and plans postponed indefinitely. At the end of the month I was going to be interviewing Sheila de Bretteville, the long-time director of Yale’s graduate graphic design program for a live episode of Scratching the Surface at the Type Director’s Club conference here in New York but that, too, has been postponed and hangs in limbo.
But all is not lost. As someone who’s always preferred social isolation, I can’t complain too, too much. I get to spend the next few weeks with my family. Let’s make the most of it. After a brief update on work, I want to share some books, television shows, essays, and music to help you pass the time.
