The last book that made me cry
Pachinko[byMin Jin Lee].
Every hundred pages, I wept.
I’m going into a trance thinking about it.

The writer who made me want to be a writer
Susan Orlean.
I readThe Orchid Thiefin high school and wrote my college essay about how I wanted to be a journalist.
I later told her this and she was very gracious and only mildly creeped out.
A patient under twilight anesthesia would be able to follow an episode ofChopped.
My brain no longer functions properly.
