Brontez Purnell Insists on Phoning Writers He Admires
  + stars: | 2024-02-22 | by ( ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Describe your ideal reading experience (when, where, what, how). It could only be in fantasy scenarios. But back to the fantasy scenarios. The newspaper is the only thing I read that makes me cry. The newspaper is the only thing I read that makes me furious.

I’ve Listened to This Breakup Song a Million Times
  + stars: | 2023-08-01 | by ( Brontez Purnell | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +3 min
Eventually I ended up in the back of a cab in Bushwick, listening to the song on repeat. The perfect breakup song must also be a sort of theater, where the singer becomes the character fully. The very cadence of the song, her voice, sonically pristine, still spells out a certain longing and despair. It feels as if the song were creating its own black hole when it was made. Who can escape the condensed emotional singularity of a breakup song?
