CROSLEY

“The Lion Tamer,” p. 142

“Hasan and I both
speak uent
suburbia,” says
Crosley, whose latest
book of essays,
Look Alive Out There,
is out in paperback.
“He’s also pointed
out the cultural
similarities between
Jews and Indians,
so allow me to say:
He’s a mensch.
It’s this ‘leveling’ that
makes him such an
eective performer—
everyone feels
kinship.”

Richard

LAWSON

“Their Tube,” p. 118

Successful

YouTubers “go from

kids recording

in their bedroom to

seasoned pros

very quickly,” says V.F.

chief critic Richard

Lawson, who has

been documenting

YouTube culture

since he reported

from VidCon in 2015.

“YouTube may seem

silly, and often is,

but these people take

it very seriously—

and so should we.”

Marisa

MELTZER

“Face Value,” p. 136

Meltzer calls Emily

Weiss, the founder of

Glossier, “ambitious

and determined.

But she has a dreamy

quality as well.

Like you could leave

her in a room alone

and an hour later she

would have an

outline for a novel

or for an improved

Barbie dream home.”

Meltzer’s book

about the founder of

Weight Watchers,

This Is Big, will

be published in April.

JEONG

“Patriot Act,” p. 106

“I had been wanting

to do something

on sex work for

a while but hadn’t

quite managed

to •nd a way into the

story,” says Jeong,

who served as a war

correspondent in

Afghanistan. “When

the news about

Robert Kraft broke

down in Florida,

I knew this was my

chance.”

Charl otte

RUTHERFORD

“Opening Act,” p. 31

The British

photographer and

director calls Camila

Morrone “super

sweet and playful.

I wanted to make

images that felt

classic, con•dent,

and feminine, with a

focus on Camila’s

movement and

expression. I really

enjoyed shooting

her. She’s naturally

very warm and

makes everything

look eortless.”
