My final act at Esquire is a fitting one: I hand-modeled my way into the role of "woman with knife" in a Chuck Palahniuk story. So proud to launch my fifth Napkin Project, featuring Chuck, Jacqueline Woodson, @dannymlavery.bsky.social, Meg Wolitzer, and Weike Wang. www.esquire.com/entertainmen...

Happy National Book Awards to all who celebrate!
