Byliner Writers I'm Reading
The first writer I selected was Jason Fagone, due in no small part to the recent article "Does God Have a Tim Tebow Complex" that originally ran in GQ. It's hilarious. Fagone properly pairs snark with stats in a way I can only dream of mastering. And dream I will.
I first heard of Stewart O'Nan a few weeks ago when I attended a reading by Chuck Palahniuk. O'Nan introduced Palahniuk and was the moderator of a Q&A session. I thought he was absolutely charming and wanted to read anything this guy decided was worth writing. Thank you, Byliner, for allowing me to further literature-stalk a writer I hope to soon count as a favorite.
Devin Leonard is far more straight forward than the other two writers I selected. He doesn't rely on Fagone's sharp wit or O'Nan's charming phrases but rather allows his facts to do the majority of the talking for him. Leonard resembles the traditional view of a journalist, a resemblance that is harder to find as infotainment takes over.
