August 6, 2015. August 6, 2015. New York City (9). Religion and Spirituality (1). I am currently in Seoul, lying in bed in what is the tiniest room I’ve ever stayed in, resting my head on a pillow called Ratasha. I’m here at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, in an outlying and moderately dumpy neighborhood, for a month of intensive Korean language study before I take my proficiency exam at Columbia University. I’m staying at what’s called a. Which is a combination of the words. I like it here. Things...

All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware. New York City (9). Religion and Spirituality (1). There are very few famous people whose deaths affect me, and fewer still whose deaths I worry about before they happen. But I have thought, from time to time, that Oliver Sacks must be getting on in years, and I have felt a pang at the thought that someday there will be no new Oliver Sacks essays to enliven and enlighten me. Well, that time is coming. Sacks, in his writing, took that ...

All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware. New York City (9). Religion and Spirituality (1). Today I delivered a short speech in Korean as part of the closing ceremony for my monthlong Korean language program at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, on what has turned out to be my speaking tour of Asia. The speech was a hit with the teachers and staff, as well as with my classmates, all of whom were amused by how much of our new grammar I managed to work in. August 25, 2015.

All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware. New York City (9). Religion and Spirituality (1). What would happen if a prosecutor announced that he was setting a bunch of murderers and rapists free, pretty much at random? He or she would be pilloried. But in practice, that’s what happens every time someone is wrongly convicted of a violent crime. In other words, forensic “experts” lie. And almost always on the side of the prosecution. Setting murderers and rapists free. What rar...

August 2, 2015. New York City (9). Religion and Spirituality (1). Beyond that, I spent a bunch of time with my good friend who showed me all around the city and took me on a Mekong Delta tour as well. Vietnamese food is delicious, and you knew that already, but it’s delicious in ways that surprised me: the fresh herbs and greenery that come with just about every dish, the fish, the curious rice cake concoctions. Seoul, meanwhile, is my future home, and I’m pretty used to it. My. August 2, 2015. Follow &l...

All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware. New York City (9). Religion and Spirituality (1). Yes, you can celebrate marriage equality even if you’re a radical progressive. I’m starting to see the backlash rolling in on Facebook — not from the right, but from the left. There are voices within the queer community and among its allies who have found reasons to be sad about the Supreme Court decision that has made gender a non-issue in marriage law.
