I’m Alex, a writer and editor based in Brooklyn, NY. My stories, essays, and reviews appear in Granta, The New York Times Book Review, The Baffler, and Jewish Currents, among other outlets. My first novel, Worry, was named one of the best books of 2024 by The New Yorker, Vogue, the BBC, The Washington Post, NPR, and more; it’s out now in hardcover wherever books are sold, and the paperback—due in April 2025—is available for preorder.
