New York Magazine - USA (2019-09-16)

alum Dan Kois enacts both a fantasy and a gonzo

experiment, dragging his wife and two preteen

daughters on a yearlong exploration of parenting

styles around the world. After settling in Costa

Rica, New Zealand, the Netherlands, and small-

town Kansas for months at a time, Kois winsomely

compares and contrasts (spoiler alert: The Dutch

aren’t perfect) and, along the way, finds the mean-

ing of quality time. He’ll share his findings in

Brooklyn with Sam Anderson, author of the excel-

lent Oklahoma City history Boom Town. b.k.

on point. There will be a Q&A with screenwriter

Joan Tewkesbury on September 21. d.e.

Alabama Shakes’ Brittany Howard prepares a

first solo album named for Howard’s older sister,

was young. The new set is a deeper exploration of

the gobsmacking vocals and guitar playing that

are Howard’s trademarks. c.j.
