Welcome. This is the–substandard–website for aspiring writer, Matthew Berkman. On here, I will be posting links to my work as well as thoughts and essays about books, movies, politics, and anything else that comes to mind. Are you ready for another twenty-something dude to share his bullshit with you?! Cause I sure am. Thanks for coming.

“I love America more than any other country in the world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually. I think all theories are suspect, that the finest principles may have to be modified, or may even be pulverized by the demands of life, and that one must find, therefore, one’s own moral center and move through the world hoping that this center will guide one aright. I consider that I have many responsibilities, but none greater than this: to last, as Hemingway says, and get my work done.

I want to be an honest man and a good writer.”

James Baldwin
