Some of My Best Stories… So Far

In which, meta-like, I bring my best stories on Medium together in one story

For your reading enjoyment, I present eleven of (what I think) are my best stories. These stories may not have had the most eyeballs or claps or comments or highlights, but they are pieces I consider to be the essence of me as a writer, and of which I’m most proud.

These stories underscore the inconvenient truth that I am a curious writer, who often writes to find out what I think, to untangle a problem, to ponder sometimes unanswerable questions. I’m a writer who has many messy interests and works across a range of niches: work, culture, society, relationships, travel, as you will see.
