I grew up in Ossining, New York. Then I went to Brown University, where I studied history. I've worked as a reporter and editor at The Marshall Project, The Daily Beast, and The American Prospect, and I contribute to publications like Slate, The New Republic, The Atlantic, and The New York Times.
Hopefully I will write more books! I think they will combine my interests in history, literature, gender, justice, and social policy.

William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet, and actor. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" (or simply "the Bard"). His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, three long narrative poems, and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted.
