The short stories are solid, but the journalism is just phenomenal.

So my book #Journalism and #Crime is off to typeset! It covers from early modern origins in 16th century London, transatlantic exchanges from #newgate to #newjournalism and on through 21st century ecosystems of hypercriminality and true crime.

#Beaverland: How One Weird Rodent Made America by Leila Philip is a worthy followup for anyone who discovered #Beavers through 2019's #Eager by Ben Goldfarb. It's not for the squeamish, as one reads quite a lot about trapping. But one gets a perspective on the beaver's role in #AmericanHistory, and on the people who respect beavers. A readable #PersonalNarrative in the tradition of #NewJournalism. https://www.twelvebooks.com/titles/leila-philip/beaverland/9781538755198/
