That NY Magazine Article, New TCT just dropped!
To celebrate the first anniversary of The Critic’s Table, use the code ONEYEAR to subscribe! New York Magazine also honored the milestone (not intentionally) with a feature marking CULTURED’s ascendance. I can’t say I’m crazy about the portrayal overall, though TCT certainly comes out looking good:

Brian and I have been friends since the golden age of Twitter. He commissioned and edited my piece on Lana Del Rey X Maleficent for The New Inquiry more than a decade ago, as well as my account of appearing on House of Cards with Pussy Riot for Art in America.
