My forthcoming book is
Literary Brooklyn, to be published in August by Henry Holt. Some nice things people have said about it are
on the publisher's website. Also you can buy it there, and it's inexpensive.
I've written for the New York Review of Books, the London Review of Books, the New York Times, the New Republic, the Awl, the New York Observer, the Boston Globe, n+1, the B&N Review, and other publications. Someday I'll post links to my work in one place online.
I'm on Twitter.

“So I am nineteen years old and don’t usually know what I’m doing, snap my thoughts out of the printed page, get my looks from other eyes, do not overtake dotards and cripples in the street for fear I will depress them with my agility, love watching children and animals at play but wouldn’t mind seeing a beggar kicked or a little girl run over because it’s all experience, dislike myself and sneer at a world less nice and less intelligent than me. I take it this is fairly routine?”
— From The Rachel Papers, by Martin Amis, published when he was 24.
