Also, you can find the essay in the Spring 2024 issue of _The Sewanee Review_.

FROM THE ARCHIVE: JJS first appeared on the masthead of a magazine in 1997. He was an intern and listed as “John Sullivan” in the very first annual Southern music issue of the _Oxford American_.

On June 12, JJS was in NYC to give a reading at Harper’s Magazine 175th Anniversary Party. I haven’t been able to find a recording or video of the event.

NEW PIECE: JJS’s latest published piece is in the summer 2025 issue of _Bookforum_ magazine. It is a review of Geoff Dyer’s new memoir, _Homework_. You can find it here:
