                      a New York Review Comics manga compilation by Fumiko Takano from the late ’80s and early ’90s. The title character of this series, Miss Ruki, is a fool in the best sense of the world—out of step with those around her, enchanted by her own imagination, and clumsy. In one comic, she notes that anyone who is embarrassed after falling down “has rarely fallen down in their life.” She works in Tokyo as a health-insurance-claims reviewer, but she works from home and usually finishes her assignments for the month within a week. Instead of asking for more to do, she takes the other three weeks of time to live what we would call in 2025 a soft life: She takes daylong baths, collects stamps, goes to the library (only the kids’ section, though, because the books explain things there). She is living this life of leisure unconnected to a romantic relationship or familial obligation; Miss Ruki is entirely possessed of herself. Her best friend, Ecchan, on the other hand, is a striving office worker who is obsessed with the latest in fashion and food and is desperate for a boyfriend. She often gently makes fun of Miss Ruki for ignoring trends. There’s not really a plot in

                      You are mostly just reading to hang out with the characters and glimpse a world that doesn’t exist anymore: status-obsessed and highly paced office life in 1980s Japan. Takano is a master illustrator and clearly has an eye for fashion; the best parts of reading

                     <em>
                      are the clothes. Miss Ruki sometimes wears the New Look–revival dresses of the ’80s, though the floppy pussycat bows get in her line of vision when she tries to play croquet. She goes to a party in a 1930s-inspired gown, then jokes that she looks like her own grandmother. Ecchan gets annoyed with an elementary-school girl she calls a “little fashion victim” because of her Comme Ça Du Mode (the Gap of Japan) beret. All of this is conveyed in quick, elegant lines—a joy for the eye to follow. If I were to meet a Miss Ruki in real life, I would probably be annoyed by the Amelia Bedelia of it all. But on the page, Miss Ruki’s commitment to acting dizzy is refreshing.

                      a New York Review Comics manga compilation by Fumiko Takano from the late ’80s and early ’90s. The title character of this series, Miss Ruki, is a fool in the best sense of the world—out of step with those around her, enchanted by her own imagination, and clumsy. In one comic, she notes that anyone who is embarrassed after falling down “has rarely fallen down in their life.” She works in Tokyo as a health-insurance-claims reviewer, but she works from home and usually finishes her assignments for the month within a week. Instead of asking for more to do, she takes the other three weeks of time to live what we would call in 2025 a soft life: She takes daylong baths, collects stamps, goes to the library (only the kids’ section, though, because the books explain things there). She is living this life of leisure unconnected to a romantic relationship or familial obligation; Miss Ruki is entirely possessed of herself. Her best friend, Ecchan, on the other hand, is a striving office worker who is obsessed with the latest in fashion and food and is desperate for a boyfriend. She often gently makes fun of Miss Ruki for ignoring trends. There’s not really a plot in

                     Miss Ruki.
                     <em>
                      You are mostly just reading to hang out with the characters and glimpse a world that doesn’t exist anymore: status-obsessed and highly paced office life in 1980s Japan. Takano is a master illustrator and clearly has an eye for fashion; the best parts of reading

                     <em>
                      are the clothes. Miss Ruki sometimes wears the New Look–revival dresses of the ’80s, though the floppy pussycat bows get in her line of vision when she tries to play croquet. She goes to a party in a 1930s-inspired gown, then jokes that she looks like her own grandmother. Ecchan gets annoyed with an elementary-school girl she calls a “little fashion victim” because of her Comme Ça Du Mode (the Gap of Japan) beret. All of this is conveyed in quick, elegant lines—a joy for the eye to follow. If I were to meet a Miss Ruki in real life, I would probably be annoyed by the Amelia Bedelia of it all. But on the page, Miss Ruki’s commitment to acting dizzy is refreshing.

                      Joyland
                     </em>
                     is a deceptively straightforward memoir. I started reading it for this newsletter back in July, over a rush of family vacations. On one of these trips, my family got stuck in a four-hour traffic jam on the godforsaken stretch of highway that runs between the Massachusetts border and central Connecticut. Bored in the car, I took out
                     <em>
                      Joyride.
                     </em>
                     “Read it to me,” my six-year-old demanded. So I read to her and my boyfriend all about Susan Orlean’s childhood and first big assignment for
                     <em>
                      Esquire
                     </em>
                     —her famous 1992 essay “
                     <a rel="noopener" style="text-decoration: underline; color: #0068A5;" target="_blank">
                      The American Man at Age Ten
                     </a>
                     ”—and her early days talking herself into reporting jobs in the Pacific Northwest. As I read, I marveled at her prose: elegant, straightforward, simple, and yet able to convey big emotional and intellectual shifts. I think it is a testament to her work as a nonfiction writer that a first grader and a 35-year-old could both listen intently, for miles stuck in traffic, and be able to talk about what she wrote for hours afterward. Besides Orlean’s actual written work on the page, the book doubles as writing advice. She explains her philosophies on approaching a story, interviewing subjects, and maintaining her sense of self as a reporter. There is also the way her personal obsessions have shifted whole swaths of American culture. Her interest in orchids and desire to write about them led to an era-defining, Oscar-winning film that still influences writers today. As she details below, her obsession with taxidermy sparked a million trends and is why I can find a faux stuffed rabbit at Target right now in the Halloween section. It’s fitting, then, that when we spoke on Zoom, I could see, in Orlean’s beautiful, glass-walled home office, which looks out on a lush garden, a giant playing card behind her on a shelf. It was the Queen of Hearts.

                     Everywhere I go, everybody wants to talk about AI. We are at this point where people have this idea that the best way to improve on writing is to somehow make it more efficient. What I really loved about this book is that it’s a complete refutation of that.

                     </strong>
                     Early on in my career, my first really important editor made this statement that I’ve never forgotten, and that is that there are three distinct stages of creating a piece of writing. One is the research. One is thinking. And one is writing. I remember thinking, “Oh, well, thinking? Why is that a separate stage?” And of course it’s a separate stage. Ideally, you go into a story not knowing what you think yet, not having a preconceived idea of what the story’s going to be. If you do, then you’re not truly learning the story. You’re simply looking for examples to support an idea you already have.
                     <br/>
                     <br/>
                     It can be very unnerving to have a stretch of time that can feel interminable, when you’re just trying to figure it out. To me, in many ways, it’s the most essential piece of the process. We often aren’t given that kind of time. Usually, we expect to come back from our gathering of information and sit down and start writing, and I would argue that that’s almost never possible if you’re doing a good piece. We’re talking about processing what you’ve learned, figuring out what it meant, why you wanted to write it. Did it surprise you? Did it change? Did it reveal something you didn’t expect? That all takes time, and that time from the outside does not look like productivity. But it’s very much productivity.

                     </strong>
                     You have an anecdote where you’re talking about a piece you wrote about gospel singers and specifically not reading the definitive study of gospel before you went in. I feel like for many writers, we are terrified of looking wrong.

                     </strong>
                     It’s actually a life lesson. I think the fear of being seen to not know is a kind of pointless fear, and in a way it interferes with your ability to really embrace life. We are not experts on everything, and I feel very fortunate that I don’t have a lot of ego in looking like I’m the smartest person in the room. In fact, I feel like it defeats … it actually is a hindrance when you go to write about people. If you come in with your ego blazing that you know more about their world than they do, you might as well not write the story.
                     <br/>
                     <br/>
                     You may as well not engage because that’s not the point. It never has bothered me to enter a subculture and say, “Gosh, I don’t know anything about what you do here, and I’m here to learn and be a student.” Being a learner—it’s humbling. It’s absolutely humbling, but it’s not shameful. I think discarding that notion that you need to be the expert is an enormous relief. It’s really liberating, and, frankly, I think it’s really essential for seeing the world as it truly is and not through the filter of you protecting your ego.
                     <br/>
                     <br/>
                     I guess I’ve never felt that it diminishes me in any way. I think to come into the gospel world and say, “Tell me about the history of your community. Tell me how this music evolved. Teach me…”—to me that’s a very genuine relationship. To come in and say, “Well, it says in the definitive guide to gospel such and such,” how can you hear when you’re so busy staking your knowledge? It just feels—and I mean, between you and me, I think men have a harder time with this. I think there’s a great advantage to not coming out of a culture where there’s this braggadocio of “I know everything.” I don’t think women get—I think we are, fortunately, usually not raised with that pressure of being the person who knows everything.

                     Yeah, you’re reminding me of the way that I learned how to interview. I didn’t go to journalism school. I learned through doing oral histories at a museum that I worked at. It really was a class in just listening to another person.

                     If what you’re trying to do is form a relationship with the people you’re writing about, even forming a relationship with someone who’s going to be a friend, that sort of ego-first interaction is not a great way to connect with people. It’s not the way that I write. I don’t think it’s a good model for human interaction anyway.

                     It’s so much power to have. It’s inherent in the type of writing you do.

                     Well, power is something that, as writers, we don’t think about or talk about nearly as much as we should. Broadcasting your perspective is a very potent, powerful function. Not everybody in this world has that privilege of being on a soapbox and stating your opinions and perspectives and observations. Writers, when we’re beginning in our career, we rarely think of ourselves as having power. You’re just thinking, “Oh my God, am I going to get another assignment? Is this one going to turn out well? Is the person I’m writing about going to be mad at me?” You feel very unempowered, and yet the very act of writing and being published is profoundly powerful. What percentage of people have that tool? I mean, certainly we have social media now, and people are publishing on social media, and that’s meaningful, but I think for people for whom it’s a profession, you have a significant platform that you’re speaking to that can even be in the millions. You have the power, for instance, if you think of it in the worst manifestation, you have the power to really denigrate someone.
                     <br/>
                     <br/>
                     When I write about people—and very often it’s people who rarely get written about—it is important for me to try to balance the scales a little bit. I’m coming in there as a visitor with a notebook and a platform and an audience, and in order to try to achieve some equity in our relationship, I need to make clear that there is another kind of power, and that is the power they have, which is their story, their insights, their openness, their availability to me. They aren’t powerless. It’s just a different kind of control of the situation. It’s important to really emphasize that so that I can de-emphasize a little bit the potency of my position.

                     The most important thing a writer can be is curious. Curiosity that is boundless. Not every curiosity is a story. You need to take it and figure out, how can I burrow into this sort of interest of mine and find ways to write about it?

                     even existed, so I don’t care that much if there is a preexisting interest in my story. And in fact, I would say I kind of like it if there isn’t. I think that my particular intuitive skill set is to surprise people with their capacity to be interested in something that they didn’t think could be interesting. I’m massively curious. There’s almost nothing I don’t want to learn about.

                     Look, we all worry about getting another assignment. We all worry about staying employed. And if you’re a freelancer, it’s certainly a little scary. It’s a lot easier to say to your editor, “You tell me what you want. You give me the assignment, and I’ll just produce it.” And there’s nothing wrong with that. I don’t know that that’s a career that’s going to fill you with a lot of joy and satisfaction, although maybe you do get a lot of satisfaction. To me, it’s really more satisfying to think, “Well, nobody has thought about this before, and I think it’s super interesting.”

                     I think about my story about taxidermy, “

                     in 2003]. That’s a very good example where I didn’t even know people still did taxidermy. And then a friend of mine happened to have a catalog from a taxidermy-supply company, and I was flipping through it, and I said to him, “This is crazy. It is like a 300-page catalog. Are there even any taxidermists?”
                     <br/>
                     <br/>
                     So I went online and I saw, of course, that there are thousands of taxidermists. The World Taxidermy Championships were coming up. I came roaring into

                     Many of the things I am interested in writing about, there’s a real sort of passion and obsession about it that people become really drawn into, and it’s like, their life’s work is to make a perfect stuffed squirrel. If you had polled the readers of

                     piece is why every hipster bar I went to from 2006 to 2015 would have a taxidermied squirrel or rabbit or whatever under a bell jar alongside the black and gold accents and the craft ale.

                     This is my last question. You write a bit about becoming a parent and actively choosing not to write publicly about motherhood. I am curious about choosing not to write about something.

                     </strong>
                     I simply thought, “I cannot cast a reporter’s eye on this.” And I didn’t have the memoir impulse that made me want to detail my experience. I’m not sure that I can bring something new or different. I didn’t feel that my newness was new to the world. I felt like I was having the experience that has been going on since the beginning of time, and I didn’t see a way of writing about it that felt fresh to me.
                     <br/>
                     <br/>
                     But also, I felt this is my private thing, this is my own business, my own life, and I don’t care really to share it. I feel that you keep something in the tank that it is yours for you to experience, and you don’t have to process it through writing.

I was wrong of course. I was writing a story about demons, though—just a different kind. The literal kind. I took this one day on one of my endless walks during summer 2021. I was restless. Somehow, it took me years to realize that parrots lived in the spires at the cemetery entrance. I found out while birding with my boyfriend, whose love of horror profoundly inspired
