The Alternatives publishes in the UK + IRL on Thursday. I’m grateful to Niamh Donnelly for this gracious, thoughtful interview in Irish Times Magazine. Print interviews do give me the heebie-jeebies, so it makes a difference when there’s a kind reader on board.

“the book is alive with tightly coiled menace and moral urgency, and with the implicit imperative to pay attention”

I wrote for TIME about the heat crisis in U.S. prisons: the dangerous (often deadly) heat in prisons without climate control. It's no surprise the UN Convention Against Torture censured U.S. prisons.
