I am delighted to share the news that Nadja Spiegelman will be joining Opinion in September as an editor with the guest essay team. She will work with me and the culture team to commission and edit Opinion essays that observe and make arguments about the arts — high, low and middlebrow — as well as the ways we live now. Most recently, Nadja was the editor in chief of Astra magazine, a print magazine of international literature, and the founding editor of Metrograph’s cinema magazine.
