Politicians and judges say I'd make a good lawyer. Doctors and nurses tell me I should go to med school. But I like doing things my own way and math isn't my strong suit, so I became a writer instead. As an ex-child prodigy with a knack for trouble, I've shared my life in radically honest personal essays, reported intimate takes on the struggle for social justice, and created commentaries on culture & current events.
