These things, not others

About me

Hi! I’m Michael, a book critic and writer from Boston. For many years, I've contributed reviews to publications including The Boston Globe, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal, among others, and my short fiction about aspiring ghosts, trivial psychics, and petty saboteurs has appeared in journals such as Smokelong Quarterly, Cheap Pop, and Bull. I'm currently querying my first novel. Wish me luck.

I’m also a two-day Jeopardy! champion—

—and, as a result, a somewhat useful meme that shows up on social media every so often.
