Once a month at Pocket, we ask our favorite writers and editors to share their good taste and discerning reading habits. They tell us the best pieces—both new and old—they read last month, and we share them with you. Think of it as a group chat with writers you love, swapping links to great pieces and notes on why they loved them.
Past editions have covered parenting in the age of diet culture, a mother’s love of poker, people who get away with doing nothing at work, among other topics. In June’s edition, stories explore sexting among teens, a literary breakup, a 1980s Texas murder, and more.
