My favorite line in @amandapetrusich's review of "The Life of the Showgirl" is her strategically placed interjection of "O.K.!" (After describing some of the cringey double entendres in "Wood"...) newyorker.com/magazine/2025/…

"Will they see it as their duty to don the armor of God, as soldiers, or will they feel called to a different approach?" By @michaelluo, feat. @MichaelRWear: newyorker.com/news/the-lede/…


I reflected on what it means that Jesus was “full of grace and truth,” Dallas Willard’s “allure of gentleness” in the Christian apologetic, and whether believers will see themselves as warriors or servants. newyorker.com/news/the-lede/…

I wrote this last year and we re-upped after the assassination of the Minnesota state legislator. Re-upping it again now: perhaps it is time to treat political violence as a threat to public health. newyorker.com/news/the-lede/…

Today, there are more than 22 million people of Asian Pacific Islander heritage in the U.S. They, too, are Americans. Thank you @michaelluo, for shedding light on the otherness and providing a much needed sense of belonging. In solidarity ✊🏽

I enjoyed this conversation with Ken Fong for his podcast, Asian America. We talked, in particular, about storytelling and what it means that “Strangers in the Land” is a narrative history and how I tried to build the book around memorable characters. asianamericapodcast.com/2025/07/ep-545…

"Strangers in the Land" author @michaelluo addresses why Asian-Americans may gravitate toward MAGA, and why knowing history breeds empathy


"Am I afraid of retaliation? Absolutely. But...I feel so strongly about the things I’ve seen and what it’s done to the D.O.J., what it’s done to my colleagues, what it’s done to the rule of law, that it’s worth the risk.” New reporting by @RuthMarcus. newyorker.com/news/the-lede/…
