Episode 67: Evan Wright
Evan Wright, a two-time National Magazine Award winner, is the author of Generation Kill.\n\n"When people were killed, civilians especially, I realized I was the only person there who would write it down. I was frantic about getting names, and in the book there are a few Arabic names, some of the victims. Not that anyone cares. But I thought, 'At least somewhere there's a record of this.'"\n\nThanks to this week\u2019s sponsors: TinyLetter and HostGator.\n\nShow notes:\n@evanscribe\nWright on Longform\n[3:45] Generation Kill (2004)\n[10:00] "Scenes From My Life in Porn" (L.A.
