I discovered this gem of a site while browsing the links on David Perell’s YouTube channel after I finished watching an interview he did with the author, Robert Macfarlane. The tiled design is lovely, and it’s so fun and interactive clicking on each tile to view the articles. It’s definitely a place I’ll keep checking back again on as I want to improve my writing.

“Part of what I want to tell you is what it is like to be young in New York, how six months can become eight years with the deceptive ease of a film dissolve, for that is how those years appear to me now, in a long sequence of sentimental dissolves and old-fashioned trick shots—the Seagram Building fountains dissolve into snowflakes, I enter a revolving door at twenty and come out a good deal older, and on a different street.”
I love Didion’s writing here. How she describes time through photography and the use of doors (enter/exit) to signify the passage of time. It’s nostalgic and full of character.
