The writers behind this newsletter.
Where do we throw our time & money when life stops making sense? That's Retail Therapy — personal essays by a former business reporter (yes, the WSJ kind) now surviving corporate tech by growing plants in the bathtub and doing yoga in the driveway.
Novelist and essayist whose stories have appeared in NYT, the Guardian, WaPo, Harper's, etc. Boston-grown, Texas-based, always packing or unpacking.
Chris Stanton has written humor for some of the world’s biggest brands. Readers have called his essays about culture and human nature “hilarious,” “insightful,” and “brilliant.”
