"I write essays first because I have a passionate relationship to the subject and second because the subject is one that people are not talking about."

Previous Quote

When you write an essay, of course you're going to get pushback, but you're going to be allowed to make your case at leisure. You're going to be allowed to take into account possible objections and to fully humanize your reader. That feels to me like a much more sane thing to do.
