The Very Last Interview was published by New York Review Books in 2022. The recipient of a Guggenheim fellowship and two NEA fellowships, Shields—a senior contributing editor of Conjunctions—has published essays and stories in the New York Times Magazine, Harper’s, Esquire, Yale Review, Salon, Slate, Tin House, A Public Space, McSweeney’s, Believer, Huffington Post, Los Angeles Review of Books, and Best American Essays. His work has been translated into two dozen languages. David Shields’s new film, How We Got Here: Melville Plus Nietzsche Divided by the Square Root of (Allan) Bloom x Žižek (Squared) = Bannon, is now streaming on Tubi (free but with ads); the companion volume of the same name will be published by Sublation Books in January 2024. In Autofocus, Michael Wheaton wrote that the film “should be required viewing for every Intro to Humanities course in the country.” The novelist Dana Spiotta said about the book, “Shields goes full velocity into this demented American moment, and he nails it.” Shields’s work is discussed extensively in The Edinburgh Companion to the Essay (Edinburgh University Press, 2023); the book also includes a new essay by Shields. He co-wrote the feature film I'll Show You Mine, which on June 23, 2023, will begin streaming across multiple platforms (Amazon Prime, iTunes, Vudu, Google Play, Vudu, YouTube, Vimeo, Microsoft, and InDemand) and screening theatrically nation-wide; the film is produced by Mark and Jay Duplass, directed by Megan Griffiths, and stars Poorna Jagannathan and Casey Thomas Brown. Shields’s film Lynch: A History, an ode to Marshawn Lynch’s use of silence, echo, and mimicry as a form of resistance, is now streaming on Peacock, Peacock Premium, Tubi TV, Sundance Now, DIRECTTV, Roku Premium, AMC, and Amazon Prime. I Think You’re Totally Wrong: A Quarrel, which Shields co-wrote and co-stars in, is now available on Vudu. © 2021 davidshields.com, all rights reserved
