Susan Orlean’s profile of an orchid poacher, published in this magazine in 1995, inspired Charlie Kaufman’s movie “Adaptation.” Jennifer Wilson reflects on Orlean’s stormy, sensual prose. #NewYorker100
Jennifer Wilson on Susan Orlean’s “Orchid Fever”

As hurricane season approaches, I want to tell you why I spent the past 4 months reporting this new story about Hurricane Helene.
In 1999, I spent 13 hours in a car on a gridlocked interstate with my 3-week-old baby during the disastrous mass evacuation from Hurricane Floyd.
