We’re reading a pure drama this week! A short two-hander by fellow southerner Nathan Blankenship, The Final Touch is about Jimmy, a gay man dying of AIDS during the height of the epidemic, and his nurse Lynette. Nathan talks about representation in art, pursuing writing for the stage and screen in two different cities, and his favorite southern comfort food.

Detours: Judas and the Black Messiah (HBO Max); Steal Like an Artist, Show Your Work!, and Keep Going: 10 Ways to Stay Creative in Good Times and Bad (Austin Kleon)
