What do you think of the obsession with "long-form" these days? Does this mean good things for the future of magazine and feature writing? Or has nothing really changed in terms of popularity, and it's just a new name on an old form?

Hi Gene! What makes "The Peekaboo Paradox" your favorite piece?

Can you tell us what you've got in the works right now, WaPo feature-wise?

Related to the question about the Astrology story you discarded, do you have to discard a lot of stories after doing some reporting? Or are you pretty good at finding stories that are as interesting as you suspected? I'd be interested in your process or any tips you have, if you'd oblige!

Ah, bummer, but I look forward to the book! Thanks! I will definitely ask my parents and other whatnots for you.
