Yusuf Hawkins was killed twenty-five years ago in Bensonhurst. “The N Train,” an essay I wrote about discovering evil through that tragedy, is up today at TROP.

And, on a not altogether unrelated note,  my review of Willy Vlautin’s The Free, a beautiful novel that tries to make sense of injustice, is up at Los Angeles Review of Books.
