About me

Introduction	I evaluate each story on the merits of its content. I do not consider the renown of the author or engage in speculation about the motives of TNY's editorial board. I believe a story that needs a prequel or a foreword or an interview with the author is an inherently weak piece, and I refrain from reading other critiques or whatever information TNY publishes on its website until after posting my review. You are welcome to join the conversation in the comment threads (always open) or to email me at: new yorker story critiques [at] gmail [dot] com (no spaces). Thank you and happy reading!
