Sheon Han

From our latest, by @sheonhan, on the markers and tics, the hidden canon, and the evolution and possible stagnation of the rationalist blogosphere

Around the time the book came out, I remember picking up The Vegetarian at a bookstore in Seoul and couldn’t put it down, finishing it there while standing. (I did buy it in the end) What a day

"The final episodes have a bonfire-at-midnight energy." This reflection on the @longformpodcast from @sheonhan is so thoughtful and generous. Grateful to have anyone listen this closely, much less capture what we were trying to do more beautifully than we ever could:

“Journalism is an opaque industry … With Longform, I could spy on the inner workings of the industry without becoming a nuisance.” @sheonhan on the @longformpodcast: thepointmag.com/forms-of-life/…

YES

“Over its glorious twelve-year run, the Longform podcast offered its listeners a reliable mixture of three things: story, utility and free unlicensed therapy.” @sheonhan remembers the @longformpodcast. thepointmag.com/forms-of-life/…

We haven’t lost hope for new sources of funding to keep some version of the mag alive. Please send ideas to [email protected].

The return of our very occasional podcast, this time on Amis's greatest book, to my mind, "The War Against Cliche" + reviewing more generally. Who killed criticism? Was it @dankois? Tune in!

Episode 585: John Jeremiah Sullivan, contributing writer for @nytmag and author of “Pulphead” and the forthcoming “The Prime Minister of Paradise” longform.org/posts/longform… This is our final episode. Thanks for listening.

Since its release in February, a lot of people (including, e.g., @kevinroose this past Tuesday) have wondered what (and who) the Vision Pro -- Apple's swanky new mixed-reality headset -- is for. For @nymag @intelligencer, I found an answer! nymag.com/intelligencer/…
