Writer/editor. New Mexican tumbleweed blown east to skyscraper country.
Right now, I am working on a book about F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sheilah Graham, and Hollywood in the 1930s. It will also contain a lot of drinking, powder blue suits, dances at the Cocoanut Grove, betrayal, gossip columns, crazy ladies, secret Jews, film lot moguls, and Dorothy Parker quips at funerals. If the world is still around then, it should be out from Random House around 2014. So let's hope the Mayans were wrong.
If you want to say hi please do. Or find me in short form, here.

In addition to being a pretty damn awesome photographer, Cara also mans Ground Glass, one of the simplest, most beautiful blogs about picturemaking on the webs. I love this series she did on plastic surgery machines—she makes them all look really kitschy and like advertisements for 50s housewives; because that’s the glossy, fetishistic mentality that creates these things as it is.
