Recommended by The Loaf, with Tim Kreider
Notes, insights and conversations on writing, music, art, philosophy and creativity from the founding editor of The New York Times philosophy series The Stone.
Peter Catapano has always been my editor at the New York Times, and is still the only person I'd trust to edit my work sight unseen. He occupies a narrow and endangered ecological niche at the Times, curating literary essays and philosophical writing at a venue increasingly driven by clickable headlines and Clear Thesis Sentences. He's edited writers from Oliver Sacks to Amanda Gorman, and is an erudite, funny, thoughtful writer himself. I look forward to reading his substack.
