I’ve logged more experience than most with simplicity and the complexity you discover inside simplicity, minimalism and asocial behavior, endurance and landscape.
Here is the truth: I think some deep wisdom inside me (a) sensed the stress, (b) was terrified for me, and (c) gave me something new and hard to focus on in order to prevent me from lapsing into a despair coma — and also to keep me from having a jelly jar of wine in my hand.

The Sun publishes interviews with innovative and provocative thinkers. We like interviews that stretch us intellectually yet remain accessible.
We’re always on the lookout for voices not traditionally heard in the mass media and are particularly interested in interviews with women and people of color.
We publish only question-and-answer-style interviews: no profiles.
Before you conduct an interview, send us a brief summary of the person you want to interview and what topics you plan to cover. What stands out about them? Why would a Sun reader be interested in them? (If you’ve already done the interview, we’d still like to know a little context about the person.) We’d also like to see a set of 15–20 sample questions that you’d ask. This helps us get a better sense of what direction you’d be taking the interview.
Transcripts should be at least six thousand words and can be as long as fifteen thousand.
In-person interviews are best, but phone or videoconference interviews are acceptable, especially during the current pandemic. We do not recommend conducting interviews via e-mail.
