Michael Schulman is a staff writer for\xa0The New Yorker. He recently\xa0profiled\xa0Jeremy Strong of\xa0Succession.\n\u201dThere's an interesting moment that's part of this job where you\u2019ve spent a lot of time with someone and it often feels very personal and very intimate. And then when you go to write the piece, you have to sort of take a breath and say to yourself,\xa0Okay, I'm not writing this for this person. I'm writing this for the reader.\u201d\nShow notes:\n\n@MJSchulman\n\nmichael-schulman.com\n\nSchulman on Longform\n\nSchulman's\xa0New Yorker\xa0archive\n\n01:00\xa0"On \u2018Succession,\u2019 Jeremy Strong Doesn\u2019t Get the Joke"\xa0(New Yorker \u2022 Dec 2021)\n\n03:00\xa0Her Again: Becoming Meryl Streep\xa0(Harper \u2022 2016)\n\n09:00\xa0"Wendy Williams Dishes the Dirt"\xa0(New Yorker \u2022 May 2021)\n\n35:00\xa0"Adam Driver, the Original Man"\xa0(New Yorker \u2022 Oct 2019)\n\n37:00\xa0"A Defense of Jeremy Strong (and All the Strivers With No Chill)"\xa0(Elizabeth Spiers \u2022 New York Times \u2022 Jan 2022)\n\n44:00\xa0"Bridget Everett is Larger than Life"\xa0(New Yorker \u2022 Jan 2022)\n\n45:00\xa0"The Otherworldly Comedy of Julio Torres"\xa0(New Yorker \u2022 Dec 2020)\n\n47:00\xa0"Bo Burnham\u2019s Age of Anxiety"\xa0(New Yorker \u2022 Jun 2018)\n\n47:00\xa0"Troye Sivan\u2019s Coming of Age"\xa0(New Yorker \u2022 Jun 2019)\n\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
