Drawing the Mall
Winner of the 2021 Fourth Genre Multimedia Essay Prize
Here’s what our judge, Kristen Radke, had to say about this year’s winner: “Drawing The Mall” is a slightly-deranged, entirely-beautiful love letter to an American institution that ‘has seasons but it has no weather.’ I’ll genuinely never look at a food court the same way again. I fell in love, too.”
