I’m Abigail Oswald. I’m a writer, movie geek, and pop culture aficionado who came of age on the internet.
I write a lot about celebrity, crime, and girlhood, and you can find my work in places like Catapult, Split Lip, Wigleaf, Autofocus, Vol. 1 Brooklyn, and elsewhere. I’m especially interested in exploring how our connections with art affect the ways we perceive and experience the world; my conversations with other writers have appeared in The Millions, Electric Lit, Chicago Review of Books, Cleveland Review of Books, and elsewhere.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve enjoyed finding little ways to play detective in everyday life. Clicking hyperlink after hyperlink until I’m a total expert on a tiny facet of culture. Using the the internet to time travel.
To that end, Microfascination is my own personal collection of rabbit holes. These inventories of recent obsession will go out once a month, and I hope you’ll join me.
