I'm a New York Times Magazine contributing writer based in Berlin and New York and the author of The Full Catastrophe: Travels Among the New Greek Ruins, first published in the summer of 2015 by Crown. In addition to The New York Times Magazine, I've written for NewYorker.com, the London Review of Books, Foreign Policy, The Guardian, The Wall Street Journal, TheAtlantic.com, ForeignAffairs.com, and World Policy Journal. In the distant past, I was a writer for The New York Times City Section and recorded interviews across the United States for StoryCorps.
