Politicians and judges say I'd make a good lawyer. Doctors and nurses tell me I should go to med school. But following centuries-old rules "just because" and being good at math aren't my strong suits, so I lucked into becoming 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.
