I was delighted to write my debut piece for the AGNI website, edited by the redoubtable Sven Birkerts, whose book The Gutenberg Elegies I read with great pleasure when I was just out of college. George Scialabba, whose new book I review in the piece, is a very fine critic who is getting more attention these days, although not yet as much as he deserves.

A bit more recently, I wrote my first piece for Tablet, the newly revamped version of what used to be called nextbook.org. It's edited by my friend Alana Newhouse, and I shall only say that any magazine that has hired both Seth Lipsky and Victor Navasky as columnists is big-tent in admirable way. My piece, FYI, is about Holocaust deniers and anti-Semites, people with whom I have spent not a little time lately...
