I've never read it, and only learned who this guy was a few days ago. Never heard of him before.
Meh.
Figure I'll give it a read when I have more time.

I dont know if this has been posted yet, but this is a great read. Afflecks production company started a bidding war for the movie rights and eventually secured them.

Three that have stuck with me over the years:
2004ish profile of Chateau Musar vinyard in GQ
GQ profile of Sean Thackrey and his pig farm winery in Bolinas, CA (also roughly 2004ish)
A SKI (or SKIING) article about skiing in Russia where the journalist got "attacked" by wild boars.
Also author George Saunders wrote quite a few great pieces for GQ in the mid oughts (his one on Dubai was particularly entertaining).

Alas, I have thus far been unable to find most of these archived online...

More spoken word. The fall of Saigon will be 45 years ago next month, this is originally from NPR in 1985. Very well done.

Interesting read. Theft of indigenous land via treaties, many of which were broken, is well known. But I had no idea about how this played into development of our university system.
Expropriated Indigenous land is the foundation of the land-grant university system
