Writers and the Los Angeles Fires

Even though the fires in Southern California continue to burn, some time has passed, so affected writers are gathering their thoughts and sharing their experiences. The wonderful Karl Taro Greenfeld recounts the previous days in this moving piece for The Wall Street Journal.

“Mourning Our Dream Home in the Pacific Palisades”

I discovered Greenfield’s work in his amazing magazine story about methamphetamine’s introduction to the Midwest by a television star’s wife. He’s a writer I’ve followed ever since and he has been publicly sharing updates of his family’s experience with the wildfire on social media. His ninety-five year old mother also lost her home nearby.

Tragically, Greenfield’s won’t be the last amazing well written story from a talented journalist and author.
