Got a nice inquiry through my agent from a principal at a major publisher that found my current piece in Esquire of sufficient heft and promise to warrant discussion of a possible book-length publication. When traveling in Africa, I cranked an easy 10k blog (which should go up on Esquire's site any minute) that had me recognizing why Kaplan likes doing what he does (please, no one tell the guys at "Coming Anarchy"). I had amassed such a huge amount of material but could only get 6k of it into the piece, which I do consider my best reporting to date (always, with a huge assist from Warren), so the notion of cranking the book that leverages the article in the same way PNM did way back when is certainly tempting. Options, baby. Always with the options!
