Covid Confinement Companion #1

Kate the Great

This is the first of a series of informative posts on FITK offered with the intent of giving those who are house-bound some intelligent diversions during their period of isolation.

Kate Wagner is a critic/writer who first came to my attention with her acerbic (and hilarious) dissections of dissertations on the hideousness of modern residential housing at her website McMansion Hell. She still posts there from time to time but has also blossomed into a prolific pundit, featured on several forums, where she dissects modern culture in myriad ways. When she gets on a roll it’s fantastic.

Here are links to some of her “greatest hits”:

Curbed

The Baffler

Architectural Digest

The New Republic

City Lab

Metropolis

21CM

The Atlantic

The Nation

She has also started writing enigmatic short fiction as well.
