Vinson Cunningham is a staff writer for\xa0The New Yorker. His novel, published in March 2024, is Great Expectations.\n\u201cI think the job is just paying a bunch of attention. If you're a person like me, where thoughts and worries are intruding on your consciousness all the time, it is a great relief to have something to just over-describe and over-pay-attention to\u2014and kind of just give all of your latent, usually anxious attention to this one thing. That, to me, is a great joy.\u201d\nShow notes:\n\n@vcunningham\n\nvinson.nyc\n\nCunningham on Longform\n\nCunningham's\xa0New Yorker\xa0archive\n\n04:00\xa0"\u2019The Suit\u2019 at BAM"\xa0(Brooklyn Paper \u2022 Jan 2013)\n\n04:00\xa0"Label Maker: Edward Buchanan"\xa0(Nylon Guys \u2022 Mar 2015)\n\n09:00\xa0circlejerk.live\n\n\n11:00\xa0Jeremy O.
